Network of Experts in Occupational Health and Safety

“No individual knows everything needed to build a cathedral, an atomic bomb or an airplane. What gave Homo sapiens an advantage over other animals and made us the masters of the planet was not our individual rationality, but our unparalleled ability to think together in large groups.”

“Steven A. Sloman y Philip Fernbach, The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone, Nueva York, Riverhead Books, 2017; Greene, Moral Tribes, op. cit.”

Purpose of the network
