My point is having a high iq is not a very wise measure of a man or women in general. It's basically how good they are at basic problem solving and how fast they can learn. It doesn't mean they actually use it for anything useful or even positive.

No seriously... I'm doing ok...
I know what you mean... I have a nephew of 11. Tested highly gifted... but we all can see it will have several problems in life. Probably not going to be succesfull/productive.

Out of every 1 million persons there are about 20.000 highly gifted persons. Let's skip a group of wacko's from that and there will still be enough persons to replace all idiots from office.
Also... the problem with all elected idiots... they indeed surround themselves with so called experts... That's another problem right there because I see a lot of idiocy at the so called experts. Further... and that's the biggest problem... Elected officials attract lobbyists like shit attract flies... Mediocrity cannot resist this kind of pressure. We can see the results from lobbyists everyday. And these results are often far off the interests of everyday citizens.
That said... It was a rand about all human failure displayed everyday... all stupidness... etc... you know... a rand...
