Re: us Americans dumb?
I've taught for years at the college level and sold insurance in peoples homes.
All in all, I have met very few people who I thought were unintelligent. I suspect our melting pot of mutts is pretty smart overall, certainly no worse than human average.
However, the level of self chosen ignorance is staggering.
