  • This book bends phenomena to fit the author's analogy framework. Yes, well organized groups can accomplish more. They can also be riots, lynch mobs, panics, invasions, or thousand-year cultural stasis. The book reinterprets some physical phenomena to fit the author's analogy framework.

  • p2 loonshots, widely dismissed ideas whose champions are often written off as crazy.

    • Large groups of people needed to implement them.

    • "science of phase transitions

  • p11 Phil Anderson more is different, broken symmetry and the nature of the hierarchical structure of science. Used as an analogy for human teams. Referred to on page 226.

  • p187 1844 John Taylor in Carthage Illinois jail cell with Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith

  • p226 phase transitions, collective behaviors. The author analogizes without details.

    • a detailed "for example" used by the author: superconductors are the macroscopic behavior of Cooper-paired electons, joined by lattice distortions and opposed spin to behave like a "boson" rather than a lone-electron fermion. As pseudo-bosons, hoards of Cooper pairs "march in large formations", ignoring the pesky lattice defects and vibrations that dissipate energy and cause electrical resistance.

  • 243 James Bond metrosexual

  • 252 veiled reference to cancer immunotherapy
