PJ O’Rourke had a great bit on this in Republican Party Reptile – smart people don’t get in fist fights, but stupid people don’t invent thermonuclear bombs.
Genius creates new things. Cunning exploits new things. To idiots. Who then use the new things in ways the genius never intended and subsequently makes garbage of them.

Sure the geniuses made all of those things. But it was idiots that marketed them.

Anti-intellectualism is a beautiful thing. It keeps people governable so that the geniuses can manipulate them to use all of these things.

Geniuses invent new technology. It takes marketers to find profitable but destructive applications. I don’t think they are geniuses.

I don’t think real idiots even know they are idiots. They don’t have that much self awareness.
