America focuses on being very intelligent because that's how you make more money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Americans are completely stupid. The intellectual level in any single European country is higher than in America.
I would argue that's because we had a bunch of smart people running around here. They were coming in and working very hard and many of them had left jobs in which they made significantly more money.
The smartest thing we can do to create high-wage jobs and grow our economy is to keep our focus on education.
To put it bluntly, American political opportunities are heavily loaded against those who are simultaneously intelligent and honest.
The reality of America is mass-market stupidity.
They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.
We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.
Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
Americans are very practical folks. Accustomed to hard choices in their own lives, they are willing to give us in intelligence a lot of slack as we make the hard choices our profession demands.
