A Million People

Consider the following:
  • People's minds are machines capable of learning.
  • The mechanism of learning is fallible (Ex. racism, sexism, fanatical religions, genocide, etc. ).
  • Fallibility decreases if there is an increase in IQ, amount of knowledge, and critical thinking ability .
  • An omnipotent intelligence could learn in an infallible way.
  • The mechanism of learning is discoverable.
  • One theory of learning is called "Society of Mind" where there are competing cooperative agents interacting in ones mind to form a single unified self.
  • It should be possible to connect people through the Internet in a simple way that mimics the learning process of a single mind.
  • The more people in this network the less its fallible.
