Is this really the core issue? Or is it just that we reward the reckless egoists, so they float to the top?

  Rewarding the reckless egoists is immature, it demonstrates a lack of understanding of the larger system, and by not addressing or acknowledging this issue we get our current situation. Knowing and not fixing is immature.

    The problem is that the rewarding is systematic and can't really be attributed to a single person (or persons), so calling it immature is really just hitting at strawmen.

      You disregard too quickly. Just because immaturity is systematic does not erase the fact that immature behavior is radically short sighted and a personal failure to navigate reality.

  The problem is that we have allowed "social skills" to be regarded higher than actual intelligence or technical skills. Social violence is not only tolerated, but encouraged and celebrated. This in my opinion is the most successful terrorist action of our modern era. There was no "cold war" it happened under our noses and we are all living in socially nuclear fallout every day. By allowing the bullshit to float to the top we have excluded any intelligence from the decision making process. Basically we're almost to the point where the computers start firing everyone in Idiocracy.
