Intelligence Wasted in a Corrupt World

Have you ever felt your intelligence is wasted in a corrupt world? In this 6-minute video, we explore how brilliance has been stifled by corruption throughout history—like Galileo’s house arrest and Turing’s persecution—and why it persists today. We unpack psychological concepts like learned helplessness and cognitive dissonance to reveal why smart people feel powerless. Modern examples, such as the 2019 college admissions scandal and political lobbying, show corruption still cheats talent in the U.S. But there’s hope: build your network, create alternative paths, or advocate for change to fight back.
Key Points:
History: Galileo, Turing
