The real problem of higher education for the highly educated one is that the rest of the world—most of it—is not very bright and doesn’t know very much. Therefore it cannot operate on a high intellectual level; so it brings down the level of thinking to its majority’s low level. It is not tolerant of high intellect. It doesn’t understand it, it fears it, and ultimately, it resents it. The low level masses win. This is because most human beings are not especially bright. Most believe in the old bad habits that have motivated human societies from the day the first cities were established. Most people do not understand the simple fact that people are only temporary creatures who are dependent on the microbes, worms, enzymes, gases, flora, and other fauna and chemicals that make the earth. Most people do not understand that we are composed of these chemicals, gases, and microbes, and are material manufactured by nature out of the earth. We are the earth, as the trees, the snakes, and the eagles. The rocks are fellow beings, out of the earth and, like us, not on the earth not having come from some other creation. We are created from substances of the earth and we are therefore inescapably bound to it, by it, in it, and upon it. Most people with little education and too many with a great deal of education, do not accept this irrefutable truth. The result of our relentless, stubborn refusal to see this is our own destruction. Until it is complete, the continuing result is agony.
