Smart people don't have to become stupid while their opportunities are being given to subversive incompetents who've been trained to gargle corporate jargon like cud. They will starve in obsolescence and become extinct. Only remorseless sociopaths devoid of substance are allowed to prosper. Idiocy and incompetence have been in high fashion and celebrated for some time now. This is a safe comfort to the power that these fools depend on.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov
