Genius doesn't mean you have all the answers---

but it might mean you know which questions to ask to prevent human extinction.

College teaches people to think for themselves and to see through arguments that are false or misleading or downright wrong.

College is supposed to teach you how to think analytically and logically and reasonably.

If it succeeds at this then you learn which questions to ask in almost any situation.

Because of this if someone capable  asks the right questions to the 8 billion people here on earth now, you just might come up with a workable solution to the present human dilemmas here on earth.

But, its not just coming up with the right solutions because those solutions also have to be implemented  efficiently and effectively. Otherwise, we all are going to die within the next few centuries along with all animal, bird, fish and insect and other life on earth until nothing living is left alive on earth (except maybe robots) that don't have DNA anymore.
