I'm a mathematician and have worked with people at multiple global top 20 research institutions. Hence, I have worked with some of the most intelligent and hard-working people on this planet.

I could write a whole book about the problems with academia and the harm that career academics falsely posing as scientists create, because I've been observing it in the wild for many years.

For this point in particular:

Nah, don't chalk it all up to nurture, there's much nature involved in abject retardation such as this...

It certainly is a lot of nurture and environment. I'm not saying that environment will invariably create only one type of person, that would be bullshit. Because everybody has different priorities and thus ends up with different data by exposing themselves to different things. The type of which depend heavily on your, not necessarily geographical, proximity. (To be continued below)

Genetics will always play a huge part in someone's capacity, in special their intellectual prowess...

While this is definitely true, intellectual prowess is not the issue here. Even a kid understands what is good and bad when they really see it (and not just fragments of the story), they're just terrible at articulating it.

If your priorities aren't aligned in a certain way you will use your intelligence to create extremely intricate but inherently flawed structures.

Especially in the sciences and mathematics, people are often entirely laser-focused on their personal research interests. They do not spend the time or apply any of their intelligence or education into understanding the extremely complex issues facing humanity today.

Just like average normies and libtards just "want to live their life and not bother with politics".

If you don't look it doesn't matter how intelligent you are, you will never see what's there.

Pair this with much less intelligent, capable and resourceful people trying (or even just pretending) to be doing good and you've got a serious problem.

Almost 100% of us want what is good for us all. When now a complete moron comes with surface level talk about how "we need to help people, the environment etc." then those very intelligent people just nod, because obviously they agree with the premise. And then the rest escalates into the bullshit that we see today.

I think this should be sufficiently clear now, but if it isn't I'll gladly elaborate on whatever points. I just figured the post got too long already, so I'll cut it short here.
