I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.
Kids today are smarter than we ever were. And they've got computers too which is awesome. They're scary to me.
One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat it won't jump out. Instead it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
