What is the Zollman effect?
“More information generally means a better chance at discovering the truth, at least from an individual perspective. But not as a community, Zollman finds, at least not always. Sharing all our information with one another can make us less likely to reach the correct answer to a question we’re all investigating.”
Communities can strengthen bias, reinforce prejudice, and make it acceptable to dislike outsiders.
