A couple of notes: first its interesting he made the reference to the chess matchups, where humans using computers beat the best humans and the best computers. It was actually a couple of amateur chess players.. who wrote a very usable interface. The key was they figured out a very efficient and *usable* way to interact with their chess program, which IIRC was just an off the shelf chess program on a laptop.

Second note: That type of adaptable economy has been discovered, but errors in thinking and political interest groups have combined to pull us away from it. He should pick up some Hayek or Bastiat sometime, no doubt would find it enlightening.
