No, the greatest minds of our generation are still working where they always have: in academia, research labs, etc. The people figuring out how to get consumers to click are the top 5-0.5% minds. When I look back at people from my high school, most of the tippy-top people are getting PhD's and figuring out how to do nuclear fusion. It's the next rung down that are working on Wall Street, Silicon Valley, etc.

Speculating about who has the bigger brain seems pretty silly.
There's no way you could ever realistically prove your position (ditto the parent).

Perched so high, looking down on mere mortals. The view from the Ivory Tower is never cloudy.
