It is hard to believe that low level intelligence may
influence high level intelligence, but that is exactly the way things
happen. Consider the following.
There is a certain period, particularly difficult, for each human
individual; it is named "adolescence". That critical life period works as a
"corner-stone": teenagers become
social-individuals. If our social educational
system is a good, sane, intelligent environment, then the new adults will
become hard-working, honest, reliable citizens. If not ...
Well; better luck next time.

WE WON!
It appears the famous "sexual education" introduced in schools around 1974,
finally brings
results--any results. Sure, it may be the HIV rate of infections has
grown 10 000 times since, but the results show "we are marching on the right
track"! Pretty soon, over 51% of World population will be "like
everybody else". Unfortunately, there are no statistics on syphilis,
gonorrhea, herpes, and tens other sexually transmitted diseases.
Anyway, we all know good, healthy sex makes wonders; right? *
IS THERE A "FOOD PROBLEM"?
Some say we have a food problem, and we cannot deny that is right. In the
rich side of the World, we throw to the garbage bin more than half of the
food we buy. In spite of the wonderful, appealing packaging, most of the
"industrial food" produced today tastes horribly even to dogs. In the same
time, in the poor side of the World, prices are growing three to four times
faster than they do in the rich side. Yeah, but what would you expect? That
is the way we do things around here.
The good news is, there are
strong evidences
that about half of the good, agricultural land on our planet is not used. "That
means ... the food products are going to be better and cheaper?"
Nah, it doesn't work that way. *
SCIENTIFIC HIGHLIGHTS
1. Fairly soon, electronic circuits are going to be
printed on paper using special inks. However, that doesn't mean all
previous knowledge about Hardware, Firmware, and
Software is going to become obsolete; on the contrary.
2. This is an interesting
page
dedicated to superconductors.
3. Fairly soon, the old, reliable silicon transistors are going to be
replaced by ... "graphene"
[and many other inventions]. This time, all those impressive transistor
equations are, in fact, going to become obsolete. All you need to know is, a
transistor works as a controlled relay. That's all mystery.
