But Krimel, isn't waiting for whatever the Nova provides exactly this very
"relying on stupid people"?

For even if there is a high quality intellectual pattern that is willing and
able to be explained on tv, it's guaranteed to have to go through a long
dumbing-down process before it's palatable to the masses.

And most, high quality intellectual patterns are not palatable to the
masses.  If they were, we'd see more evidence in the world and on tv or in
 high school dynamics where the jocks are disparaged and the nerds are
encouraged.

And "I love intellectual boys" would be a common song, rather than a highly
unusual one.

But no, high quality intellectual analysis is not a marketable commodity
today.

Tits.  Violence.  Crime solving.  Facile Cosmological Hubris.  That's what
sells, Krimel.  As you yourself testify.
