The blame game gets no problems solved. Only when everyone works together will most of the problems we are facing be drastically turned about.

Stupid people who blindly follow someone without gaining knowledge in the subject are the one to blame. There are more of them than the intellectual elite.

Sometimes, when I get high, I think that all the media and information we receive is controlled by a group of intellectual elites who are actually controlling all of our thoughts. So, all of my beliefs are just implanted by the wealthy 1%.

So I can see how paranoia can really get to someone...

But I believe that people in power are just a bunch of morons. To me, intellectual elites are a dime a dozen, and often are people like Socrates, Einstein, and me.

Well... strictly speaking, it's true. But it's not telling the whole story.

Intellectual elites get to make the most devastating mistakes and the worst miscalculations because such people are more likely to get into power. Poorly educated people are less likely to fuck up the world, but only because it's hard for them to get into a position to do so.

But if you were to start replacing intellectual elites with uneducated folk for powerful and influential positions, you'll probably find that they make even more devasting mistakes and bad miscalculations because of their poor education.

The thing is that no matter how smart you are, you can't know everything, and every action you make involves a risk. I believe that, generally speaking, highly educated people are better at their jobs than most people would be.
