I see it like this. Of course, having someone who knows the correct answer to the correct question is always the best option. But when the question for example is, "how do we allocate all resources in the economy", the question becomes to complicated to answer. Even if it is possible to identify all the variables, new once have popped up by the time you finished. But "how do I allocate the resources that are available to me" is a question people deal with there entire lives. That makes it easier to deal with for one person. And, it is also not the case that the goal is to reduce an answer from the "wisdom" of the crowd. A functioning system is the goal.

Yesterday there ware protests for the resignation of the prime minister, not the cabinet let alone the state. I don't see how Iceland can be considered anywhere close to being anarchic.

Very heartwarming indeed.
