There are three kinds of people – Extremely smart people, extremely dumb people, and then all the folks in the middle (which referrers to us mostly).

The extremely smart people go off and become Doctors and Lawyers and things like that, because they are smart enough to get through the schooling and then it’s easy money for ever after that point. This is why those people are smart.

The extremely dumb people do things like open factories making crap like shot glasses and napkins and other other completely boring things that are everywhere. These people make a million dollars because everyone uses their products, even if they are boring.

The folks in the middle, that’s us, are just smart enough to have asked “why would I want to start a factory making shot glasses, that sounds boring” and not smart enough to have decided earlier on to become Doctors and Lawyers, and are therefore stuck in Intellectual Purgatory .
