>>IMO, you are over complicating this issue by going into the weeds. Thanks for the IMO. It could be - complexity arises when we study anything in detail. Law of Superposition in geology, for instance - the newest stuff is always on top - unless it isn't. I'm not against education. I'm a technologist - I understand we do amazing things by training people in esoteric sciences. However, all of that comes at a cost - there is a finite amount of capacity in the noggin like there is on your computer. The curriculum attainment affects how "smart" people will be - and I've pointed out - what you really want are "secular humanist factories" producing people you'd like. As a term - I know it is your shorthand - "smart" is just not very useful to me. Being "kind" is way more important than being "smart" - though I like working with really smart people - I prefer the company sometimes of really "kind" people who are also "smart" - nobody is 100% smart and 100% kind (just the statistics working here - they are as Flynn says, Independent Factors. I'm just one person in a community - and societies are made of collectives of communities. Whatever we worship - we tend to get more of. I want more "kindness".
