People have smart brilliant minds. many are being shunted to video games and janitor work. Also she said in her lecture that many kids are going to school to sign up to wall streets riches instead of doing what they are good at and helping society.. my post on DU. I am on my tablet now and don't know how to copy and paste. I am not talking about the HBO movie but a 2012 lecture. She is awesome and has several doctorates...I noticed my post is on the video section
What struck me was how she pointed out how autistic people see things differently. She brought up the BP disaster link and explained what they did wrong. Also she brought up what was not seen in Japan in the nuclear meltdown but she saw.

So much wasted brain power in America.
