The Cult of Smart
Book • 2020
In *The Cult of Smart*, Fredrik deBoer critiques the current education system for fostering a class structure based on intellectual ability.
He argues that the system cannot provide equal opportunities due to inherent differences in cognitive talent and instead advocates for a shift towards equality of outcomes.
DeBoer challenges the notion that intelligence is the sole measure of human worth and proposes radical reforms to dismantle the existing meritocratic model.
