"The collective intelligence of a group is inversely proportional to it's size. If a group is large..it's stupid. Committees have been accused of having 'all mouth and no brain.' How can something so stupid keep a secret?"
I don't necessarily think this is a fair statement.
But I mean.. I've never heard of anyone genuinely getting into Area 51 and speaking out about it have you? They fly in unmarked jets of workers in there every day, yet no one really knows what goes on inside there except for those inside there.
There's tons of examples in history of secrets being kept by big groups and many we'll prolly never learn about because they remained a secret.
Heck they keep classifying the JFK files all these years later.
Most secret or initiatic societies report members in the millions or less. Oftentimes it's in the thousands.. Yet, I don't really think size has much to do with it.. but rather how dedicated to the secrecy the members are.
Just what has been revealed by history over hundreds and thousands of years is fascinating enough, though that's only what has been revealed. Much we find out in the future if we are fortunate and much will never know. Because they did a good job keeping those secrets.
"ummm...if you're skeptical of the numbers you might read the article. The author of which explains, step by step, how he come up with them. You are welcome to do the math yourself. Let us know what you come up with."
What math is there to do really if we can't verify a single vote? You can say so and so voted and so many voted, but if you can't even verify a single vote.. What does any of that really mean?
This is one of my main problems with the whole voting system and why so many still support it without any kind of way of even knowing if their vote even mattered or was counted..
There's been a lot of voter and election fraud in history which has come out. So there's plenty of reasons to be skeptical, yet.. with out a single person ever being able to show me their vote even mattered.. That's even more reason to be skeptical. How can you verify much of anything if you can't verify one basic foundational elementary necessary part of the whole process?
