All great points. Standardized testing is a recruitment tool, absolutely. Make things a game, explain "where one could go", and these super smarties go into competition mode. Later on, govt goes door to door/dorm to dorm to offer the "really" gifted "opportunities". The point I was making is this:

Some of the gifted are suspicious as fuck. Why not just bomb tests in school, take the easy route, and apply yourself after bullshit school is over? Is it inconceivable to think a 16, 17, 18 year old hasn't figured this shit out? High IQ types are everywhere, and not all of them want to be involved with govt. It's easier to make a small bit of $$, quietly, and tell everyone else to fuck off.

What I was getting at is this; dont assume the govt knows where all the smarties are, because the govt knows for a fact they dont. It's an interesting world when you about just how many Suzie Tollers there are.

He wasnt mocking. He fully expected most to not get it, though. Carlin wrapped truth in humorous mistruths to get people to think. He hated humanity, and spited God for being an ineffective leader. On one side, and depending on your experiences in life, there's really no arguing against that stance. On the other side, you'd essentially have to make the case that Carlin wasnt seeing the entire picture.

Time will tell.

You cannot LOVE without free will. Love is a choice over EVIL. For love to exist, the possibility of EVIL has to be allowed to exist. Epicurus was a stoic fool before stoicism became stoicism.
