Be your own think tank

You know how you think there are problems in the world? And you know the old platitude that two heads are better than one (which leads to the belief that crowds have some form of wisdom, which all I can say is throw me all the numbers you like it's still dubious).

Anywho, you have friends or people whose opinions you trust. They could be good at solving problems too. And chances are, if they're your friends, that they may share some of the same sense of what is problematic in the world.

I think people should start their own think tanks. Like a book club where you get together and discuss a specific topic and potential solutions / courses of action. You could even have a round robin snack situation.

How neat would it be if some day on the news they were like: 'The US is implementing a new foreign policy procedure today that was developed by Bobby in North Carolina with his friends Jake and Delmar.'

I mean, really rad, right?
