Measuring intellect is one thing, valuing it is another. Within my lifetime I've sadly seen intellectual excellence valued less and less by society with each passing decade.

I see that intellect is valued more and more intensely by a smaller and smaller group of people. I'm not sure what that means, but it gives me some small hope.
