Post: the irrationality of the real world

Posted by L on 4/11/06
isn't it peculiar that highly intelligent, motivated and hardworking people experience so much difficulty in the real world? with all that education and various degrees, many are poor and miserable, or in any event, don't do much better financially than others who are less intelligent and less educated. how do you explain this phenomenon? part of the reason, i think, is that we live in a world run by and for the vast majority who are dumb. the dumb people must be put to work to maintain egalitarin democracy, so it's difficult to make room for more intelligent people. what's your explanation?
