Not a few indicators (IQ tests, SAT scores, US Army entrance exams) suggest that the population’s mean intelligence is in conspicuous decline. One liberal critic estimates that “the number of genuinely literate adults in the US amounts to fewer than 5 million people — that is, less than 3 percent of the total population.”[656] The country’s transition to a so-called “knowledge economy” comes, though, not just at the cost of an educated citizenry, but “of poor public services, low social standards, weak communities, rising violence, and high poverty” (Peter Hain). The socially aberrant character of American life has been further exacerbated by guerrilla skirmishes between conservative and progressive cultural forces, a general Balkanization of the social order, the virtualization of the public sphere, low-intensity race war in the inner cities, homicidal outrages by disgruntled employees and alienated schoolchildren, and the virtual collapse of commonly accepted moral standards.
