Americans look de bas en haut

The ignorant resent the educated, the uncouth resent the cultured, the stupid or merely ordinary resent the smart or the truly brilliant.

More often than you might think to the point of violence.

Almost always to the point of revenge or at least Schadenfreude.

You might be surprised at some who harbor the ego-consoling myth that people of genuine genius can't tie their shoes and "have no common sense."

Anyway, this TV show will do nothing to combat such red-blooded, all-American ressentiment.
