Yeah as much as I hate to use this term, I think a small committee is better suited to handle a complex topic than the entirety of society.

That’s not to say I think committees are great ways of handling things, but that I think a small committee is better at handling things than a large committee.

IMO the only workable solutions to global problems are going to be ones only a few people understand. And not from lack of access to the information, but from lack of time to educate everyone on every problem.
