William L. Benge just pointed out to me that “Dennett and Hawkins” have pretty much demonstrated the end of the Cathedral’s fallacy, and have moved beyond it.

I think if you watch Dennett’s talk, then Haidt’s talk on moral blindness, then my talk on The Inter-temporal Division of Reproductive Labor. Then you begin to see the future : we act more like a set of hives than individually rational actors proposed by the greeks and the enlightenment.

And when you grasp that, you will perhaps see the importance of both speaking the truth, the virtue of contracts, and the importance of prices, rather than unlimited free speech, the dream of reason, – and just about all that we have done during the democratic era under the fallacy of the rationally capable rational actor.

Hive mind exists.
