By Arri Eisen

…ective moral judgments, but the collective intelligence factor was a ‘much better predictor of group performance… than the average or maximum individual intelligence’ in that group. There’s something new, some emergent property, about being in a group—if the group works. That’s a big if. We’ve all been in groups—whether religion-based or otherwise—that drive us nuts.

Everyone I knew was experiencing a lot of hopelessness.

In this season of intense hopelessness, our personal conn…
