I agree that a world where everyone had good critical thinking skills would be much safer. But getting there is super-tough. Learning is something most people HATE. Rationality—especially stuff involving probability theory, logic, statistics and some basic evolutionary science—requires IQ 100 as a basic prerequisite in my estimation.
I will discuss the ways we could get to a rational world, but this post is about merely a more intelligent world.
