Not disagreeing with you, but education and intelligence without qualities like empathy, common sense etc is useless. There are lots and lots of people with advanced degrees who lack basic common sense, basic decency, empathy for fellow humans etc.

I'd rather take a kind uneducated person over a cold hearted person with 10 PhDs to his name. I have no clue about the right way to teach empathy etc though :(
