The first definition of a crowd is "a large number of persons gathered closely together". The dictionary also points out that the people in a crowd may be joined by some common reason or response to a common stimuli. Therefore, a crowd cannot be a myth, as it is not an entity in and of itself; it is a description of the commonality of those who make it up.
The collaboration within a crowd is a completely different matter than one person's own ingenuity; it is the resultant synergy of such a collaboration that makes crowdsourcing such an effective and efficient means of solving a problem or attaining a goal shared by those making up the crowd.

Do you have any basis for your opinions? I really am intrigued if you are right. Please, give us some examples of every claim you made. Otherwise, think first.
I must say that students in high school (HS) don't have as much school work as you think. During HS I can remember gonig home and doing pretty much nothing the entire night. It was very possible to get all your homework done in class, study hall, or elsewhere. I managed to get everything I needed done as well as play basketball and run XCountry.
Speak for yourself on that statement. I don't know how long it's been since you were in high school, but these days high school students do have a lot of homework. Also, you evidently didn't take many (or any) challenging courses; if you take any type of challenging course these days, it's more than just a "study hall" assignment.

Re: Maybe a bit complicated???
sounds like the mark of the beast.
Are you not the one that claimed not to be governed by the Bible?
