No it is not. The famous marball or gum ball experiment
Take 50 people show them a bucket filled with marbles and have them calculate how many there are vs one person trying to calculate.
The 50 people win every time.
14000-20000 people's knowledge is required to build a basic car. One person does can not build every part from stone to finished good.

It's just an edgy quote. Groups of people have "emergent intelligence" meaning the sum is greater than the parts as they act together.

I understand what you are saying, I dont subscribe to retards like le bon. People feel safer in groups of like minded people so their true selves come out. Nazis capitalized on people already hating Jews so people felt safe with them is a good example.
 
"I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to."

Dolorous Edd
 
Of the whole of mankind, not one in ten thousand has any aspirations beyond the daily needs of the gross animal life. In this age and in all others, all men except a few, in most countries, are born to be mere beasts of burden, co-laborers with the horse and the ox. Profoundly ignorant, even in "civilized" lands, they think and reason like the animals by the side of which they toil. For them, God, Soul, Spirit, Immortality, are mere words, without any real meaning.
 
There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the greater of these is the doing.
 
Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight
