Agreed, however, people with a good education _usually_ learn think intelligently about a variety of problems. By which I mean, they understand how to fact check sources, how to think critically about information presented to them, and how to validate their own assumptions.

Depends on the problem you're trying to solve.

Perhaps it's "how can I get more for myself?" versus "how I improve the lives of humanity?".

First part yes, second hell no, why the heck the need to do such baseless attacks. We have plenty of sociopathic a-holes in Europe as well, I'd say more than plenty on all levels of society in all countries.

I didn’t think it was an “attack”, but merely an observation and a question.

But I can see how it can read as an “attack”, I’ll update the comment. Thanks for calling it out!
