The first few years of a child’s life are critical to their cognitive development.  Thanks to COVID-19 policies and mandates that kept children from schools and necessary nurturing we have, per a study by the super-smarty pants at Brown University, a generation with a 22% IQ deficit.  What does that mean?  Tomorrow’s geniuses will simply be average and the average child will be an imbecile.  Don’t judge, we needed to “stay safe” in order to get that stupid.  

Yet in the immoral (sic) words of Alfred E. Neumann we positively declare the interrogative – “What, me worry?”  No, me don’t.  Why?  Because we have formulated a class so full of intelligentsia you and your children will be like a family of ripe tomatoes playing ketchup in no time.  The art of smart is more than just receiving bank deposits of knowledge into your cranial savings account.  It goes much deeper into the brain tissue. One might say it goes super deep, which is to say it goes all the way into the superficial tissue.  You read that rightly.  This class will have packed you so full of superficial knowledge your mouth will need a cape on it.  Good for you early adopters who are already there!

This is New England after all, home to Boston and Burlington, connected by a super highway littered with brainiacs who still have a favorable opinion of Joe Biden, Ghislaine Maxwell, and mask mandates.  Only true intellectuals can hold such a trifecta with esteem despite the tension of knowing the rest of the world has abandoned them like Americans in Afghanistan.  Intellectuals don’t discard worthless people and their ideas as easily because we know climates change but recycling is forever (shout out to the Hindu-linis! Namaste). Only the truly wise ones still wear masks because A) why take the chance of breathing some stupid person’s oxygen when you can breathe your own CO2, and, 2) if we’re wrong nobody can see how ashamed we are.  Strategery.
