It is the facts and reason taught in every public and private school around the world.

It is the medium of pervasive education, most of which is quite good.

The medium is the message..

For every Bob Jones university there are probably 50 community and state colleges that do a fine job of teaching kids to think well.

And once we get universal free pre school, and affordable community and state colleges, you will see another huge jump in academic excellence.

We are not at the end of our intellectual development as a society.

All the Trump voters should attest to that :)>.

Koan, what you have is a correlation. Like murder and ice cream pint sales in NYC (actually a thing).

You still have not said what curricula improve intelligence. I know you don't think it is the one they teach at Bob Jones University. Or at various Mid East ashrams. So what is it? It is a simple ask.

I've been to a couple of Mensa meetings - some pretty dysfunctional people are there. I wouldn't put them in the "smartest people I've ever known" category irrespective of how they tested to get in the door. It was not an organization I recommend to people who are secure in their intellect.

"Ferraris on blocks" would be my description of some of what I saw in those meetings.
