The whole 'book smart' vs 'street smart' thing is something I've never really understood. There's really no such thing anymore, everyone is a book smart. That same boy that grows crops no doubt has also obtained knowledge of agriculture through books, along with the experience he gained in the field. I think what you're trying to say is that not everyone is interested in learning deeply about politics, economics, or human origins. Some people just want to be blue collar, learn their trade well, and be left alone. I'm fine with that as long as they appreciate that other people are more informed, and perhaps know better when political issues arise concerning those topics, and stay out of democratic votes if they are confused.
