It is, of course, our brains physical configuration and health but... it is also our personality. We can't easily change its physical configuration, Mom and Dad saw to this. We can change its health, through nutrition and exercise.
What about personality? A developing personality that is constantly challenging its environment, goal driven and looking for solutions to problems will become, and is, de facto more intelligent.
I think the US public education system needs a complete overhaul of its curriculum. It also needs to re-create a system where kids are constantly being challenged mentally. They get more mental challenge from the internet and video games than the rarely assigned home work (parents are brainwashed into thinking the opposite). These two things can easily be accomplished with minimal initial capital expenditure.
As usual, I am beginning to question whether the US Federal Government is intentionally creating a generation of idiots, mindlessly feeding the oligarchy at large, by mandating such a clearly broken institution. I think I know the answer.
Where is the outrage?
