I’ve been thinking about how much knowledge we share online without even realizing it. Like, someone posts a quick fact, another person adds a perspective, and soon there’s a whole thread full of insights that would’ve taken ages for one person to put together. It’s wild how these small bits from different people add up to something bigger. Do you think this kind of “shared brain” is becoming stronger than individual learning?

It reminds me of open-source projects. One person might only fix a tiny bug, but when thousands contribute, the result is a powerful system. Online discussions and quick exchanges feel the same — each small piece matters, and together they create something way more advanced than any one person could manage.
That’s exactly what’s happening. I came across https://www.digitalgpoint.com/new-attention-economy-seconds-of-play-hours-of-thought/, and it explained how quick online contributions build into collective intelligence. Even if each person only spends seconds engaging, together it creates insights far beyond what a single expert could do alone. I’ve seen this in communities I follow — one comment sparks another, and soon the group has solved problems or generated ideas that none of us would’ve managed individually.
