However, this book points out the root of many bad qualities of the group in a frank and simple way. It believes that the accumulated wisdom of the group is only stupid wisdom, not genius wisdom, just as the group is not more intelligent than Voltaire, but Voltaire is more intelligent than the whole world. After reading the whole book, the biggest feeling is that the group is so blind and irrational, and this psychological inferiority directly leads them to use mediocre intelligence to deal with the current work. Although some of the views in this book have certain limitations based on the special background of the times (the French Revolution) and the academic background (the embryonic stage of group psychology), a quiet reading will find that the discussion on the characteristics of group psychology in the book still has an important reference significance for us today.
