gollark: At least at some levels.
gollark: A lot of it is based on memorizing random information rather than thinking.
gollark: The problem is that knowledge of random stuff is different to intelligence or whatever, *access* to knowledge of stuff is still different to that, sorting through information is still very hard, and the education system often prioritizes remembering random nonsense instead of problem-solving and all that.
gollark: Done.
gollark: ... what?
