Ten points. Excellent response. Indeed, to succeed at this goal, one must define the limits of idiocy and intelligence, otherwise there would be no objective method of measuring progress. My aim is not to equalize individual intelligence, but to raise the floor. A more attainable goal, would you not say? And once that floor has been raised, we can then consider further raising it—for there is no end to the enlightenment of humanity.

I consider the ability to use critical thinking to be the baseline of intelligence—a trait that is sadly lacking in most. Many problems would not exist if people simply stopped to think for a moment.
