I keep wondering who's gonna have the last laugh here:
- the elite, coastal Economist-reading commentariat, pearl-clutching at the stupidity of your average American, but whose fluffy/non-real livelihood in ESG or gender consulting are made irrelevant and/or quickly outcompeted by AI;
- ...or the flyovers, uneducated, illiterates who, seemingly being the "dumbest," can at least drive a forklift or carry heavy shit or know how to do things, and will thus flourish in a world where machines make the commentariat superfluous?
Who was the "dumb" one, eh?

Coastal elites might be able to read and do math, but some of the dumbest people I've met are these elite educated people, read: in terms of lack of curiosity and inability to see issues outside their own framework.
Money can't buy class, and your GRE scores can't buy wisdom or virtue.

Totally.
But they'd score well in literacy tests!
