We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An educated people can be easily governed.
We live in a democracy, and people are free to sometimes choose the wrong leader.
Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.
Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders.
We know that if we're going to remain economically competitive in the world, and viable as a civic democracy, that we're going to have to get more people educated to higher levels.
Strong people don't need strong leaders.
Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.
Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we're turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that's because we still have the opportunity here.
It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
