A person is smart. People are dumb.

Isolate a person and he or she is smart in atleast some area. Get a group together and they start feeding off of each other's dumbness, compounding it.

With the introduction of the Internet, people are now able to feed off each other's dumbness at astounding rates. Algorithms herd them together to accelerate the trend. You and I are not immune to this, though understanding and acknowledging it helps.
