Every bit of evidence we have suggests that intelligence is a rather
uniformly distributed quality in the human population. In that regard, there
were quite likely as many potential Einsteins in the villages of Kenya as
there were in the villages of Germany, at the time of Einstein's birth.
But educational opportunities are not nearly as uniformly distributed, and
because of that greatly nonuniform distribution of educational and economic
opportunities, there is a substantial waste of human potential. To a great
degree, that was the underlying core sentiment associated with Glenn's
original posting.
I still haven't had time to respond to Glenn response, but I will as soon as
I can.
