More education available, less smarts
I saw a few things on-line while filling in some time earlier today, and one conclusion could be that the the general intelligence of the population is decreasing. This is despite more people having access to more educational resources/information than at any time in history.
Or as one of my favorite people is claimed to have said.
An Example of some of the stupidity found today.
A self taught "inventor" doing research into electric motors, which don't run on electricity but "resonance" of course. "Electricity" is just a way to take money from people for nothing. This is known by all the governments and the big power companies which are hiding this from the people.
This person goes on to say that his high voltage motor/generator/resonator which was consuming very little amps could do better than his current water pump motor consuming multiple amps. No mention of voltages anywhere, and the high voltage motor had no load applied to it. So it was only overcoming friction.
He is always a few dollars away from solving the current problem which is preventing him from making a major breakthrough, not to mention all the followers/positive posts he gets. His mind and all of his followers seem to be closed to the laws of physics, and electrical theory. A few people have attempted to highlight the errors in his experiments and only gotten hateful replies. Hence the stupidity comment.
