@epictittus @SilverDeth @p @Jojothegoodperson @cunt @redneonglow I've been pushing this point for a while now. We have the sum total of our species' achievements and accumulated knowledge at our finger tips and the general public is just as ignorant when it comes to life skills and understanding the natural world as they've ever been.

Knowledge only has value to those who can actually interpret and apply it.

Every half-tard gets a TA (teacher's assistant) that pushes them through each class. For what? So an 80 IQ meatbag can graduate with the same qualifications as the average kid? $50k/year for each of these TAs to make sure Gump-tier intellectuals have high school diplomas that qualify them to be door greeters at wal-mart.

We don't have a lack of information. We have a misguided approach to uplifting our youth and making sure each tier of aptitude has a reasonable chance of achieving their potential.

I realize this might be a little off topic since you were discussing video games but if we could use technology to categorize and motivate younger minds into classes based on mental capacity rather than age we'd see a major surge in competent and committed young professionals.
