by truly educated, I don't mean how it is in North America, lots of useless degrees, some tradesmen and military. By truly educated, I mean a population that:
- is highly literate and at least somewhat invested in the arts
- economically self-sufficient, very low percentage of pop. in need of assistance
- is aware of the history and culture of their country and will contribute to upholding these things
- has some military training and could perform self-defence in case of an emergency or survive prolonged civil unrest
- is aware of and involved with politics beyond just voting.
What do you all say, additions or subtractions?
Also, would any government in the world allow such a population to rise?
You won't ever get such a population. Think, the median IQ in the USA is 103 or something? Those people are pretty stupid. Now, 50% of Americans are less than that.
