I agree, there is a HUGE division between people who know and understand, and those who resist and seek solace in ignorance. Interestingly, this rift cuts right through levels of advanced education. What I don't see, though, is how this is related to poverty and inequality in income. Look at the US: they don't even want to resolve their economic, cultural, racial, religious, etc. divisions, ye in the right pockets of society (such as the IT sector) all this doesn't seem to factor in. Or look at China: supposedly all communist, but with gigantic differences in income, and they aren't trying to resolve any of it either. Still, the technological advances seem to be unaffected by this. The people who are might as well be living on a different planet.
