Maybe Brooks (a conservative) was looking at Reich's (a liberal) work, The Work Of Nations, globalist meritocratic symbolic analysts staying on shore for that moment, nonsense like that.
Smart cheap symbolic analysts, of course, are a dime a dozen in the global economy....
Take a look at Seymour Itzkoff, an acquaintance of mine from a while back. I read one of his books, not on intelligence, but rather on Feuermann. He very kindly autographed it for me. Feuermann's cello was a b piccolo. I think Isserlis still plays it...
I have a variation on that, but with full length form b f holes, and shorter more rounded c's than the typical Strad b piccolo; it is actually more beautiful, aesthetically, than either the Strad b piccolo or form b. The upper belly wood, on the base side, is on the blog front page.
He, Itzkoff, has even more of a jaded slant on intelligence in America.
These are not my views, but they are there, and have influenced people, perhaps the likes of David Brooks, re so called meritocracy, and its shadow, dumbocracy.
