Leveraged Intelligence

It was a Computer Science professor who introduced me to the concept of leveraged intelligence. His point was that the human mind is like a bird able to land on a telephone line in the wind, something that a 747 could never do. Still, the human mind, like the bird, is unable to carry 300 passengers ... without a little help! That help comes from tools, techniques, imagination and shared community knowledge and I'm trying to encourage precision, powerful flight of the mind. The blogosphere is perfect for that and friends are essential.
