Excellent question. We tend to assume, in our blithe ignorance, that anyone with straight A's who went to Harvard or Yale and has enough administrative skills and chutzpah to start a profitable business is "intelligent." But how can an "intelligent" person persist in denying overwhelming evidence of accelerated global heating from fossil fuels that is not only exhaustively researched by scientists worldwide, but is obvious to anyone who scans the headlines or even looks out the window?? And how can an "intelligent" person fail to see that the old capitalist canard that "a rising tide lifts all boats" can only work on an infinite flat earth with infinite resources?
