The key to our intelligence lies in the people and things around us. Were constantly drawing on information and expertise stored outside our heads: in our bodies, our environment, our possessions, and the community with which we interactand usually we dont even realize were doing it. The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic. We have mastered fire, created democratic institutions, stood on the moon, and sequenced our genome. And yet each of us is error prone, sometimes irrational, and often ignorant. The fundamentally communal nature of intelligence and knowledge explains why we often assume we know more than we really do, why political opinions and false beliefs are so hard to change, and why individually oriented approaches to education and management frequently fail.
