There would be a lot of dissension; much as there is among many of the world leaders today!.!.!. many different ideas and ideals rallying for attention and not getting enough done to truly solve the issues and problems!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

first of all, not ALL of the people on Yahoo! Answers are fully smart!. some just post random comments, either complaining about the question asked or just trying to get attention!.
second of all, we all think differently!. having the whole Yahoo! Answers people to put their brains together, would be difficult!. even though there are so many wise and intelligent people on here, doesn't mean that they think the same!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's a question of quality rather than quantity!. There are some people with good ideas here who could make a difference somehow!. Unfortunately, I think the vast majority of the people on Y!A would contribute little to nothing!. We're mostly dabblers!. If I was a really great philosopher who wanted to make a difference I'd probably be writing a book or teaching at a university or both!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You seem to believe that there's a lot more brain power on YA than there actually is!.

Doesn't it worry you that, by definition, half of the worlds population is below average intelligence!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That would not necessarily solve the problem For example, the difficulties of making an efficient and inexpensive photovoltaic cell will not be solved by throwing more people at the problem; it will take lots of lab work and lots of time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have already answered the world's problems, the world just hasn't heard the answers yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope, there would be too much arguing and disagreements!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the worlds problems are our own!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Give it time and it just might!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
