91.4% of American citizens are better educated than the founding fathers. Yes that includes pretty much all of MAGA.
About 7.25 billion people are better educated than the median American colonist as of 1776.
Education has not reduced in any way. In fact thanks to China this is the single most educated period in world history, by such a wide margin no other period can be reasonably compared to today, including the 20th century.
‘So why don’t we have blah blah people of higher calibre blah blah classist propaganda blah blah dummies’
We do have plenty of intelligent people. All of them capable of empathy have either killed themselves or are in STEM and have no interest in politics or commerce. All of them incapable of empathy are the owners of the current Amerisraeli hegemony that rules a large part of the world with indescribable amounts of violence and evil. Because most people have empathy (yes, even the ones you hate), they cannot fathom how people without empathy actually think and behave. Because a lack of empathy is an absolute necessity for success under capitalism, even in politics under capitalism, those without naturally rise to the top.
Americans especially are taught from a young age to never rebel, to never fight back, to never play dirty, to never try to change the status quo. They are taught this despite being told mythologized stories of the founders of their country doing the opposite. This naturally aligns with empathy, which effectively filters out Americans into those that will succeed in business and politics, and everyone else that will live under them, forever.
This is the only misstep in education. Not teaching the truth of the ‘founding fathers,’ and not teaching how and why they succeeded, and how and why revolutions do not ever end. Which to be fair to the last point, it took another 80 years for philosophers to realize that, after the US failed to actually be different than the kingdoms it rebelled against.
