Yeah - whatever intelligence (dullard, midwit, genius) you happen to be blessed with its like a muscle and if its not used it atrophies. Do any of these people actually have to do any thinking or have any practical experience of what the world is actually like? It's very interesting what is happening to our civilisation. Everything is just breaking down. They dumbed down education for the proles but did they dumb their own education down? Did they become to ensconced in their own positions preventing new talent from cycling in and out of the elite. Is it genetic with high amounts of negative mutations. Is it the culture today that means they have no practical experiences to teach them what the world is like and how to apply the exclusive education they got?
