In a typical project team, there&#8217;s no one &#8220;hero&#8221; who can legitimately claim all or most of the credit. What&#8217;s more, no one person, no matter how long they worked, could possibly achieve what the team achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there&#8217;s optimism. The person being interviewed here makes the excellent point that good news is gradual while bad news is sudden, so bad news tends to be what we notice. But with a consistent history of things improving, why are we convinced that they&#8217;re going to get worse? (That&#8217;s not to say that some things in particular will not get worse, but things in general tend to improve.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Culture and society provide a kind of &#8220;ratchet effect&#8221; which mean that, on the whole, we build on what the people who came before us made. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m typing this on a computer that&#8217;s the size of a large (but not thick) book and sending it out to people all over the world. Once we collectively solve a problem and encapsulate the solution in technology (or culture), we don&#8217;t have to solve that problem again; we can use the solution to solve the next problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Originally shared by Singularity Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collective Intelligence Is the Root of Human Progress <a href=\"http:\/\/suhub.co\/2ymMZtI\">http:\/\/suhub.co\/2ymMZtI<\/a><\/p>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        This article makes so many points that are relevant to me.<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2017\/10\/17\/this-article-makes-so-many-points-that-are-relevant-to-me\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3964"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
