From the point of a frustrated and confused member of the social order‚ it appears to me that we are living in a society where stupidity easily fits into a simple‚ three tier‚ hierarchical model. Where Darwin argued that species adapt‚ I would argue that--at least where "civilized" culture is concerned--humanity’s intellectual evolution is rapidly decreasing‚ therefore allowing us as a whole to adapt to a culture where the art of thinking is becoming obsolete.

reader how a person’s intelligence‚ ingenuity‚ and work ethic are secondary to human evolution. Human evolution determines a person’s intelligence‚ ingenuity‚ and work ethic more than other factors.
