So is the individual smarter than society, or society the individual, or what?

The collective IQ of society is more important than the IQ of a single individual. A genius will not realize his potential if he is surrounded by idiots.
Society is way smarter than the individual. If the individual thinks otherwise, that's only because he's a fucking retard. Nobody in power knows what they're doing yet the world functions because society knows collectively who needs what and what goes where.
depends?
do you find yourself smarter then everyone on Earth?
Society can bring up a person that has more information on politics, more information on economics, can read people better than you, has more memory of the geographical location you are in then you, can build more things than you with a better aesthetic, and can produces a higher college GPA and IQ then you ever can.
Let's face it, you're outclassed
Society's views are generally the most popular views, so society can be considered to have a middling level of knowledge about everything but no specialization.
