Being good at math or engineering doesn't make you good at empathy, sociology, politics or any number of other functions.

Agreed, however, people with a good education _usually_ learn think intelligently about a variety of problems. By which I mean, they understand how to fact check sources, how to think critically about information presented to them, and how to validate their own assumptions.
Edit: removing a sentence that came across as offensive.

Depends on the problem you're trying to solve.
Perhaps it's "how can I get more for myself?" versus "how I improve the lives of humanity?".
First part yes, second hell no, why the heck the need to do such baseless attacks. We have plenty of sociopathic a-holes in Europe as well, I'd say more than plenty on all levels of society in all countries.
