Very simply, half the population is below average, but we never publicly acknowledge it. We do come up with all sorts of finger pointing toward what we try to call substandard groups, but never acknowledge that the enemy is really us. The stupidity within the species is well spread around, but it does seem to gravitate more toward the right.

While there is such a thing as conservative thought, it's really not all that important and is simply a brake upon the crazier ideas out there. But, it puts the brakes on experimentation with potentially good ideas, too.

So, my half-assed idea won't really work until we evolve a bit more.

Or a lot more.
