The most intelligent man in recent history (and not an idiot savant) was unable to continue with his undergrad studies due to financial inability. It shows society is diseased and does allocate resources well. Guess what he did? Worked as bouncer for two decades. All this untapped potential, gone by the wayside. Meanwhile, mid-range IQ simpleton pseud posers occupy positions they don't deserve by virtue of having preexisting familial wealth and connections.

I guess he wasn't that smart if he couldn't plan for his future

He at least seems happy and he still can do something. Nonetheless he serves as an example that the system does not guarantee success on ability alone. It's determined by financial capital, social connection, etc. How many other Langans of this world were passed by throughout the untold passing of centuries? Indeed, even if such an statistical anomaly wades his way into wealthier circles, he is always an interloper and is resented in many cases. All but a rare few actually make it, and even then, most see the utter vanity in the external and how when you are unable to reach it it is just a nagging source of frustration and instead turn toward the internal.

The brainlet response to make themselves feel intelligent. Difficult to plan if you don't have any wealth, any connections and have to survive as a bouncer in obscurity---- college ambitions seem worthless in comparison to starving. It's like laughing at a starved lion in a cage, or seeing an Redwood tree that was planted in the poor conditions with little sunlight or water so it withered away and died. LOL STUPID LION AND STUPID TREE! He could have been something had circumstances been different.
