One of the things wrong

One of the things wrong with our country, perhaps all of western civilization is that we think educated people have the answers for us and that we can not compete with their premises they call facts or reality. Premises that were made in ridged systems. Education is great; it stretches as well as expands the mind out of some outdated mindsets; paradoxically what it also does is narrow ones focus into perspectives and or a dogmatic outlooks on things one mistakens for the rest of their life as reality and the truth. A dogmatic lens of any kind forever blocks one from seeing new things, new insights, as well as the truths that are very obvious to people that where not interfered with. Educated people might have a mastery of one small aspect of their field but loose the big picture. They possess too much ego, to much anxiety to stand-alone and too little abilities to integrate the information of other fields. What is needed is rational thinking and informed people. Such people will use the laws, information, new discoveries and the system not only for their own self-interest but for their country as well.
