Wow, coberst, you really threw down the gauntlet there.

Since I'm an American, I lack the intellectual sophistication required to comprehend your statement that Americans lack the intellectual sophistication required to comprehend the problems we face let alone to solve them.

Please help to educate a stupid American.

What is meant by "everything important about human nature"?

Exactly what knowledge is not securely possessed? How does this knowledge differ from "common understanding"? How does this differ from, say, early scientific research during the end of the Dark Ages when such research was seen as heresy by the Church and ruling authorities?

Why is it impossible to make safe general statements. In general, statements about what? What exactly do you mean by general imbecility?

Is it possible for you to participate in this discussion without quoting someone other then yourself?
