See my comment re: the Tea Party to Drethelin below—I think extremism is a far stronger motivator to vote than intelligence. Note that Konkvistador doesn’t appear to be voting, and for him to be on this board in the first place is a strong endorsement of his intelligence. I definitely agree about compulsory political study though. Also compulsory epistemology, ethics and statistics, etc.
