Lead. Mold. Second hand smoke. Poor nutrition. Mom smoking and drinking while pregnant. The brain of an impoverished child is battered with stuff that harms its development.
first read "mental poisoning" and was think of fox news and alikes. Both do their part I assume. Still think media is doing more harm than any actual poisoning.
We got so many stupid people in the first place because we interfere far too much with natural selection. Get rid of seatbelt and helmet laws! Anyone dumb and arrogant enough not to wear them is probably also too dumb and arrogant for our society.
That's effectively an argument for eugenics, that the heritage of these people is wrong and not the media, schools, and culture around these people filling their heads with bullshit.
...ya know, assuming this means/includes military spending (and that the data is accurate), with all the talk about how much we spend on it, that actually seems like a reasonable percentage to me.
