But despite the initial excitement about it, a collection of experts with divided labor has never proven sufficient to yield the properties of the human brain. It's still the case that our smartest robots are less intelligent than a three-year-old child. I suggested in my book Incognito that a critical factor was missing from the division of labor models. And we turn to that now.
