"...the correctness of crowds, as reflected in market prices, has gotten worse over the past few decades, and does not seem to have a theory as to why. I have one.

Promoting Erroneous Divergent Opinions Increases the Wisdom of Crowds https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/09567976241252138

Wisdom of the crowd comes from the accuracy of individual assessments and the diversity of opinions. Most strategies enhance the wisdom of crowds by improving individual accuracy while neglecting the potential of increasing opinion diversity.

QUESTION: Is it possible to make the crowd wiser while making individuals more inaccurate?

When people adopt extreme and erronous views, this may not degrade the whole society. Paradoxically, it can make us collectively smarter.

Aha! MSNBC has created a way for viewers/readers/poscast patrons to give feedback! I was, just yesterday, lamenting how hysterical and unwatchable it has become. #eww
But I believe their people can do better!

In 1906, at a Plymouth fair in England, 800 guesses on an ox's weight remarkably averaged to 1,207 pounds, nearly matching the actual 1,198 pounds. Francis Galton's study showed how collective guesses can be astonishingly accurate, pioneering the 'wisdom of crowds' concept in fields like psychology and economics.

Does anyone have a good report/story of a #CyberSecurity #Incident where the different stages are visible? Especially the use and risk of "Internal" unpatched systems?
It doesn't need to be spectacular (actually it's probably better if it is banal)

The idea is to use it a base for the eternal discussion that "internal" systems don't need to be patched (or scanned).
