From "Men In Black": Tommy Lee Jones is explaining to Will Smith that the citizens have to be kept in the dark about the existence of aliens. Will is arguing that the citizens can handle it. He says, "People are smart." Tommy interrupts. "No," he says, "a person can be smart. People are stupid." - I wonder what The Wisdom of Crowds would have to say about that brief dialogue.

"But that’s what I learned about society. It’s like the rules don’t apply if you make yourself indespensible. If you make it so that they need you, you can dictate how you live."
- Talib Kweli, BK Emcee, in an interview with XXL (if interested, make sure to read both parts)
