The adults are everywhere of course, always have been, but they're a minority. I am only young, but I wondered my whole life how morons, pricks, and and kiss-asses got into positions of influence, and how competent critical thinkers could not get near any sort of position of power.
Its because the former 3 groups are willing to be morons, pricks, and kiss-asses and that wins them favor with the other morons, pricks, and kiss-asses because they're playing the same games. Those of us with integrity make some concessions to stay or get employed, but our sense of decency, morality, and unwillingness to debase ourselves prevents us from getting into influential positions.
What we end up with are grifters, charlatans, and petty tyrants all playing the same games, and it is in each of their interest to prevent the smart, the sensible, and the competent from competing with them.
