School is an absolute nightmare even for children who want to learn something meaningful. It's literally the fucking simpsons, where if you're somebody even remotely smart that doesn't feel challenged you can't get the education you need in any capacity you're screwed because then the dumb students are going to get shown up or they'll complain things are too hard. Worse really, the work that you're given in any capacity is at best busy work the most low level boring shit you can think of and it also often has no relation to reality.
What little research I’ve seen suggests that low IQ largely cannot be fixed, but high IQ can absolutely be sabotaged. So ensuring equality of outcome by hacking down the smart kids is going to end up averaging us out much lower. Hopefully not so low that we lose indoor plumbing.
I think a lot of places plumbing requires electricity. California is already on the verge of failing to provide that, and South Africa is post-that. South Africa really is a model for where they want everyone to go. I don't know why people don't pay more attention. Maybe they figure it's because SA is in Africa so they're just screwed anyways. But that's not how I see it. SA is the UN's model country.

Well the UN was "reforming" SA long before Brazil and india became economic powerhouses.
