That's why Clojure is going to have success.
There are a lot of smart people out there too, they just aren't aware/are skeptical/can't try out because they have to work with another language (like, indeed, Java).
You're too pessimistic, more and more people's getting interested in Lisp, and for who don't, we've lost nothing of value.
