Agreed, however, people with a good education _usually_ learn think intelligently about a variety of problems. By which I mean, they understand how to fact check sources, how to think critically about information presented to them, and how to validate their own assumptions.

Edit: removing a sentence that came across as offensive.

Depends on the problem you're trying to solve.

Perhaps it's "how can I get more for myself?" versus "how I improve the lives of humanity?".


First part yes, second hell no, why the heck the need to do such baseless attacks. We have plenty of sociopathic a-holes in Europe as well, I'd say more than plenty on all levels of society in all countries.


I didn’t think it was an “attack”, but merely an observation and a question.

But I can see how it can read as an “attack”, I’ll update the comment. Thanks for calling it out!
