Huh, it is called democracy, egalitarianism, rule of the mob, each vote 
counts etc. The aggregated intelligence of a crowd of people is below 
the intelligence of its dumbest member. Neither deep hierarchies nor 
flat organizations work well. Intelligence is there you need to pick it 
up. E.g. perceptron does not work, but you could transform the inputs to 
make it working. Transforming inputs, that is the idea, social networks, 
media and search engines are working hard on altering the reality, do 
not worry... (:-))
