Right! Like we "understand" all the other problem confronting us like global climate change, economic collapse, and simply learning how to get along with each other without blowing up the planet.

You have vastly overestimated the cumulative effective intelligence of the human race. While SOME humans are very intelligent, and about half of all humans are above average in intelligence, by the time you factor in the morons and obstructionists and those who watch Fox News and those who actively resist becoming educated and those who feel compelled to politicize everything, the net cumulative effective intelligence of the species is at the sub-moron level.
