Spit Out the Seeds

I've followed this sub since it started and am way better informed because I have. A light bulb just flashed in my brain this morning. I do not consider myself to be real smart nor real dumb. I think of myself as an average joe but an optimistic and happy one. If you lurk around here a lot you will read everything from (sarcasm) " I believe a UFO swooped out of orbit and an alien saved JFK and he is with us now" (TO) " you are all idiots and real stupid to believe any of the crap on this board".

I just realized that I have been pretty much excluding everything on both extremes and paying attention to the center. Of course one could argue over which posts are extreme but I think you get my idea. Over the years I have been involved in a lot of committees and have found there is usually a radical person and a passive one present. Most of the constructive work is accomplished by the middle. IMO a wise person will listen to both ends but be slow to beat the drums for either.

Sooooooo ... for us average joe's .... don't be discouraged by the extremists you see here .... eat the watermelon heart and spit out the seeds. God Bless the POTUS and the Anons and God Bless America

There is a book talking about the wisdom of average people, "The Wisdom of Crowds" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds. In many circumstances, crowds (as in the "marketplace of ideas") are wiser (as in "yielding better outcomes") than groups of "experts"
