"The extent to which a society focuses on the needs of its lowest common denominator is the extent to which that society'll be mired in mediocrity. Wheras, if we would aim the bulk of our support at the brightest, most talented, most virtuous instead, then they would have the wherewithal to solve a lot of our problems, to uplift the whole culture, enlighten it or something, so that eventually there woudln't be so many losers and weaklings impending evolution and dragging the whole species down."
--Tom Robbins, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas
