You picked a bad example in Israel :).

When over 100 million middle east folks , every middle east country, attacked only six million Jews in the six day war in 1967, Adlai Stevenson pleaded on the floor of the UN to not allow another genocide.

Six days later the world had to pull the Jews off as they had already conquered Egypt, and shot down 72? Syrian Migs, not losing a single plane and were on the path to conquer the entire middle east.

It was the Jews superior educated minds that allowed that!

I agree that people who went to college are on the whole better at critical thinking, but I don't think that path is for everyone. If going to college becomes the easiest path for slackers then they will go to college but they will not benefit much, and will change the atmosphere to where slacker pranks rule because the practitioners outnumber everyone else. So it was in high school and I see no reason it wouldn't be that way.

Take, for example, Israel which for both political and altruistic reasons has made religious study the easiest path. One quarter of the country's population is now chanting old phrases in the corner.
