Yea here's the problem. The dumbest people you know are in charge right now. No I don't mean they're literally the stupidest by definition.

What I mean is that we created a system of nepotism and wealth so that many positions in both government and business are occupied by people WHO NEVER REALLY HAD TO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.

This is a major problem. You cannot adequately govern or make decisions that affect everyone's lives when you have no earthly idea what effect you're having.

    I think the dumbest people have kind of always been in power to some degree.

    Think about your workplace. There are good workers, bad workers, untrustworthy workers, morons, etc.

    That's the same everywhere you really don't get much different you're lucky if your coworkers are all cool

    Oh absolutely I agree!

    I just think the percentage of power these "dumb" people represent is much larger now and it's hitting a tipping point in a lot of industries, governments, etc.
