Is Wall Street’s Hiring Of The Smartest Minds Hurting Our Society As A Whole?

No. Since wall street stands there it means that it creates value for society. If it didn't it wouldn't exist. Your statement is a logical fallacy "begging the question"

The brilliant minds that are brought in to work for the firms on Wall Street aren’t there for research and development to create a better system, but rather to uphold a flawed one that already exists.

You assume that a system can be perfect. All systems have room for improvement. Strawman fallacy

The point of this article is really just to make you think about the potential we are wasting as a society that could be better harnessed elsewhere.

You don't know that. You can't know that. The assumption that education brings wealth is erroneous. Rather the opposite exists. Wealthy nations invest in education. Education does not create wealth. The best example is Switzerland. Their education level is very low but they are the most prosperous nation on earth.

I am not saying I agree with Wallstreet, or wars or the idea of the state but the way you constructed your article is erroneous and filled with logical fallacies from head to toe.

upvoted for your good will intention.

Lehman brothers also stood there in summer '08, yet it had no value. Visionary thinkers can see the writing on the wall. In 20 years, Wall Street will be a ghost town.
