Idiot Savants

Our education system seems to create more Idiot savants than intelligent people. By this I mean people who are ' taught' to think inside a frame. Ideology is another one such idiot savant creating mechanism. Look at how leaders and followers of some of the ' successful' ideologies live ' comfortably' dumb with a series of ' in frame' assertions, its external validity notwithstanding. More worrying is the fact that even mainstream subjets like economics, management etc is falling it into the trap where mathematics as the mechanism.
