Capitalism effects the definitions of words like "cool." You cannot put your smarts on open-display like you can a pair of Jordans.
So a person might be super-smart....but might be in the poor house, too.
a person might be extra-dumb, but if that person has a nice house to live in, a car, nice clothes, cook-outs every now and then....he is way smarter than the super-smart person on any given day.
Its capitalism.
The quality of a person is degraded to the quantity of $$valuable$$ material a person possesses.
