Brian: I’m curious about something. You mentioned the “well-educated” in one of your postings and indicated that you felt that the well-educated were in a better position to govern/lead the country.
This might be presuming somewhat, but does “well educated” also correlate to “well-intentioned” and “right-thinking” in your estimation? Meaning, would a well-educated person also have a better moral compass? I would draw that inference, in that well-educated to me indicates that someone would be also more open-minded and more disposed to do the “right thing”. They’d also have a clear-cut sense of Right versus Wrong and the requisite education, critical thinking and analysis to inform their decisions and actions.
I realize that this might be considered something of a strawman, so I’m asking you to respond before I take this line of thought anything further. What do you think?
