The Knowledge Illusion
Why We Never Think Alone
Steven Sloman
Discover the secrets of human intelligence in The Knowledge Illusion. Cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach delve into the idea that our brilliance lies not in our individual knowledge, but in the wealth of information and expertise in the community we live in. They make the case that our ignorance is not a hindrance, but our ability to draw on each other's knowledge is what leads to progress. Explore how we achieve so much despite not understanding so little, and how we can harness the power of collective intelligence to achieve even more.
