Once again grumpy old me will dare to say something different
I start with the example of india.This country has got the world's largest population of P.hd holders.It means that the world's largest concenteration of big minds is there!!!
Because one has to undergo about 18 years of education and then do a research work to get a P.hd.But where is india,in terms of development,it is growing fast,but the reason of it's growth is rather political than the mere intelligence of indian people.
There are many brilliant minds there with ideas,but no one to follow their ideas.Because far too many people are clever than needed,and since there are too many ideas,so there is always clash,and they can't get anywhere.It's like a turtle with many heads,which goes in circles.
Now look at china.A self made nation,despite all the resistance from developed countries.There are not too many intelligent people there(I mean no offence to chinese people,as this is one of my favourite countries).
but the few who are clever and got ideas,the rest of the people follow them.In this awy ideas come to existance,and unity is produces instead of clashes and friction.
My verdict:idea::idea:For a nation to develop there should be maximum of daft and stupid people in it,who can just follow someone clever,with just enough intelligence to act upon the clever person's ideas.
Many nations need a "stupid pill" instead of anti stupidity pill.
I will drop loads of stupid pills over many nations of africa,so that they stop fighting due to difference in ideas,and will give the clever pill to ten fifeteen of them.The rest of the people will follow this clever group,and there will be peace and prosperity.
Much of the developed counties don't need my proposed "stupid pill",because they are blindly following their leadership.This is called democracy,following some one,collectively.
To follow without much thinking,one should be less intelligent ;D
I need a daft pill,someone got it??
