I had a thought:
Suppose the smartest people the world has ever seen who can create cures for some our greatest diseases and create some of our greatest inventions may very well be alive today and living in:
- An American ghetto with no chance at an education.
- A village in some jungle community with no access to school.
- A barrio on the outskirts or some city: once again with no school.
- The streets on some third world city just trying to survive.
- In a place where he or she is not allowed to go to school because or religious reasons. Maybe because she is female.
I am sure I have missed something but you get the point.
