    So you’ve met people, and think they’re smart and educated enough to do the right thing all by themselves?

    This seems odd to me

      They are definitely closer to that for doing the right thing all by themselves that for deciding what others will do.

        At first, I couldn’t figure out how you attributed such intelligence to the average person. Then I realized that it simply means that you think the average person is very smart on every topic.
