I understand that what we call stupidity is a threat to mankind and our world, especially when those who are cursed by it hold massive power.

The problem I'm putting here is that we don't fully understand what it is. I was called stupid by many people - yet I'm gifted.

I think the problem isn't really stupidity so much as brainwashing. I think people are hugely brainwashed in America through their culture, and to deprogram someone who has been socialized to believe things from a very young age is a very difficult task. To do that for hundreds of millions of people is almost impossible.
