"Where exactly, in history, are these wise crowds? Do you mean the hordes who joined the first crusade and immediately started murdering Jews? The mobs who attacked Catholics, immigrants and foreigners in the 18th-century Gordon riots? Or the people who join in social media attacks on supposedly outrageous remarks by some poor sod or other?
The Arab Spring failed because it had too much crowd “wisdom” and not enough good leaders. Ed Miliband made a terrible mistake when he mistook the crowds that follow Russell Brand online for people smart enough to vote.
The crowd is a fool."
Ah so long ago, Ezra Pound nailed this Democratic Lowest Common Denominator art & literature foolishness in his book, The ABC of Reading.
Crowd foolishness has become pandemic.
