I have an opinion that brains can be calibrated. Peoples brains were the first scientific instruments. Only the calibrated ones could return after travel with accuate information. A Plains Indian Scout would return and his accuracy would be critical to the tribes survival. Eastern religious orders cranked out monks and eastern science surpasses some aspects of ours now.

Discipline and training in ordered, common sense thinking can let each capable mind reach its optimum abilities.

Take 10 citizens on a street and let them observe a single confusing event. You will get 10 differing stories as to what happened

Maybe one will describe the truth. This individual probably has an incredible degree of self discipline and common sense abilities.

Just for thought.

Just aman

Some (a lot) of people simply don't have that kind of mental ability

 

The saddest thing is, society will become dumber because the cretins tend to breed more :/

Everyone is capable of learning.

The mind can be trained to be disciplined and highly intelligent.

it just takes the right sort of encouragement.

 

Remember we only come into this world with a couple of reflex actions,

the rest we learn.

I agree with hypertilly...discipline is something learned (unless you have some sort of disorder)
