    Kinda? I figured that there’s some portion of the population that’s not smart - bell-curve statistical distribution and all that. But I always thought that the problem was education, or rather, access to a good1 education and all the socio-economic and political boundaries around that.

    To be blunt: modest to insanely powerful people have something invested in keeping such barriers high, and it’s worrysome.

    1. Good = a program that teaches critical thinking and has access to liberal arts, trades, traditional arts, libraries, and information technology.
