The disire and thirst for knowledge supercedes any portential one may have for attaining such knowledge.
One could have a 160 IQ but sit around indulging themselves in various forms of entertainment, resulting in an idle mind.
if only society was at a renaissance-state right now...
We are blinded by our society and we are hindered by our surroundings.
The only answer should be a restructuring of society as we know it.
I don't think the world would have most of these entertainment forms if society was actually intelligent. There wouldn't be anybody who would actually be duped by reality TV, American Idol, most video games, etc.
I'm guessing anyone on this forum would agree that having a hobby like music means you're exercising your mind more since it's an acquired skill, and it takes a trained ear to spot different levels of quality in music. Really, I don't think the problem is certain forms of entertainment, the world could be a smart place if we all stuck to music, books, and even the Internet. TV and video games are a plague.
