I have stated innumerable times that the greatest mystery in all of Human history is not the nature of the quantum singularity that gave birth to the Universe, the solution to the Riemann Hypothesis, the ultimate nature of sentience and how to create A.I or the trigger that gave birth to life in the primordial pond 4.5 billion years ago, but how a country of imbeciles like the United States of America managed to achieve First World status. Sure, there is a small elite of Harvard and Yale MBAs who rule the country, and a small elite of M.I.T and CalTech scientists who make lots of scientific patents, but these groups represent 0.00001% of the country's population, and I think that's hardly enough to make the U.S First World-Cigarette Man
Yes, methinks that's the greatest of all mysteries. I wonder, though, why you brought that quote back from that thread from a week ago.
The US Americans I have come across this board are pretty smart.On the other hand, I know a lot of retarded Europeans.
