Collective Intelligence and Swarms in the Red Church

Gustavo:

I’ve been thinking about some of the features of the Red Church Collective Intelligence (CI) that made it cohere independently of the idologies, values and feelings of its congregation. This was written in response to Jordan Greenhall’s excellent Situational Assessment 2017: Trump Edition , accepting his characterisation of Blue Church and Red Church CI for the sake of discussion. Specifically this is about Front One: Communications Infrastructure
What is collective intelligence?
