Does ignorance rule the world ???

Here's a provocative essay from the World Economic Forum's website:

http://forumblog.org/2013/08/how-to-stop-ignorance-ruling-the-world/

I seem to recall that INTELLIGENCE (not ignorance) gave us all of the following:

• nuclear weapons, and nuclear waste
• chemical weapons
• biological weapons
• the Vietnam War
• eugenics, and the Holocaust
• neoliberalism, and economic hit men
• crushing national debts

I would rather give ignorance another chance. Intelligence has already had several, and it has fucked up this planet royally.

And by the way, I do not believe that religion represents "ignorance". In general it represents the hope that SOMEONE can save us from the "intelligent" monsters that are robbing and raping us on a continual basis.
