A message for our times Alvin--if only it didn’t run contrary to the objectives of our current ruling class!
I recently saw a chart showing average IQ against educational levels and the IQ levels for college and even graduate school weren’t that high (can’t find the graph)--a few points above 100. Certainly not enough to justify blind faith, and the distributions were wide, which accounts for people like your parents who are intelligent but not college educated.
