I think this is a threat on its own. Education isn't everything, and may even backfire with dumb people. You know, there are people who are somewhat dumb, they figure a lot of things out, but they do know that they need a lot of help, and that they are not exactly geniuses.

But once a person's intelligence gets too low, they can't figure out anything. But, they can still learn. They don't see anything wrong with them, they think it's how the world works, people know and can do things that somebody taught them. When they see somebody figure something out, they think it's something they learned in the past, but are dumb and evil people who laugh at them for not knowing. Stupid and evil peoppe who refuse to pass on what they were taught. And they never figure out that they aren't normal, or even think that they're brilliant, because they remember more than others.
