Swarm-Stupidity
summary
Claims that managers accept a fixed comfort number — Duke constant 15 — so projects and risks are routinely pitched as 15% rather than true estimates; advises to multiply a genius technician’s time estimate by 2.1. Shows queue math: service utilization above 85% utilization explodes wait times (waiting ≈ u/(1−u), so 95% ⇒ ~19). Argues meetings, false causation from correlations, and missing preconditions (shared vision, voluntary passion) produce “swarm stupidity” instead of real swarm intelligence.
