Infotopia 1 and 2

In the first chapter I was shocked to read that large groups are often "wiser than experts." This idea is supporter by the idea that a statistical answer is an accurate answer. These answers from large groups hold evidence of quantatative estimates. Sunstein also suports his writing by telling of the Condorcet Jury Theorum, that says "the probability of a correct answer by a majority of the group increases toward 100 percent as the size of the group increases.

Chapter 2 dove further into this idea. The quote from Aristotle on page 49 was very direct, saying "all come together...they may surpass- collectively and as a body, although not individually- the quality of the few best....When they are many who contribute to the process of deliberation, each can bring his share of goodness and moral prudence...some appreciate one part, some another, and all together appreciate all." This quote states the idea that "two heads are better than one." This is true in most situations. By having a concensus of a group, you are more likely of getting the more correct or best answer than by just asking one person.
