CROWDSOURCERY: FORBIDDEN, OCCULT, DANGEROUS

Why listen to anyone else? I’m the expert.

Your opinion is useful, if it agrees with my funding.

FOOTBALL VS PHILANTHROPY

THIS IS A PROBLEM
Football plays assume a lot.
Philanthropy affects people’s lives.
There will always be more that you don’t know.
The crowd is willing to be your resource, they want to help you help them. (not a Jerry McGuire reference I promise)

CHAOS THEORY
Philanthropy is not fully deterministic
No guaranteed results
The Butterfly Effect (Follow @aplusk!!!)
Chaos is always present
Observing more, gives you a better understanding of the full system.
