This is a compelling idea although making it a reality may be constrained by human limitations, which in turn makes investment in helping everyone realize their potential moderately risky. I watched a very good interview with Bill Gates and he spoke at length on how amazed he and Paul Allen were that no one saw "the future" for PCs the way they did. He left his Harvard classes to create software for PCs thinking if he didn't do it someone else would. He said no one ever came close. It was two years before anyone became similarly involved. By then they had the upper hand. I just finished reading the bio on Einstein and it's pretty clear those kind of ideas about the universe wouldn't have come from group interactions.
