Educating stupid, as well as evil people, is a recipe for ruining society, it's what collapses empires.
Examples such as Gorge Bush, Sara Palin, the RNC, the DNC, and millions of other highly educated conservatives across the globe who lack not only common sense but also a conscience.
Unfortunately, education can be a respectable facade for people who have serious character disorders, such as narcissism and psychopathy, and these type of people are attracted to political power like stink on shit, and their the kind of people that should never have political power.
I believe that leaders and problem solvers are born, and mother nature doesn't care if someone has a higher education or not, although society benefits enormously when true leaders and problem solvers are educated and promoted.
Tragically, our society uses social adjustments according to wealth to determine who is educated or not, and because of that, we pay a huge price. When idiots inherit fortunes and receive higher education, guess what, their still idiots and education makes them dangerous.
And when these highly educated idiots are elected, they demote intelligent people, including the leaders and problem solvers that make them look bad, and they replace them with fools.
If 75% of our elected leaders have college degrees, then why is our government so fucking complicit with failure, and incompetent when it comes to solving problems?
Knowledge in and of itself is neither good nor evil, but in the wrong hands knowledge can be an evil thing. So the one thing more important than a higher education, is to whom that education is given, and education should not be a priority over or a replacement for conscience.
