As long as there’s something important left undone, anything boring automatically becomes fun.

Aggregated knowledge from a small number of debates outperforms the wisdom of large crowds
This study asked a live crowd (N = 5,180) to respond to general-knowledge questions (eg "What is the height of the Eiffel Tower?")
Participants first answered individually, then deliberated and made consensus decisions in groups of five, and finally provided revised individual estimates.
Averaging consensus decisions was substantially more accurate than aggregating the initial independent opinions. In short, small groups beat the wisdom of crowds.
Combining as few as four consensus choices in small groups outperformed the wisdom of over 5,000 individuals.
The key was reasoning together--that aspect of collective deliberation allowed small groups to make more accurate estimates than massive crowds.
