"Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve faster...Innovation only occurs in small groups. Put 3 people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people and it gets harder. Thirty people and nothing happens. Thirty million, and it's impossible. Mass media keeps anything from happening. It swamps diversity".
