Summary

This quote suggests that the issue lies not in the abundance of foolish individuals, but rather in the lack of an equal or fair distribution of talent, intelligence, or opportunities.

It hints at the idea of inequality and highlights the potential for improved outcomes if resources and talents were allocated more fairly.
