Dumb People Who Are Incapable of Critical Thought and Self-Evaluation
Need to SHUT THE FUCK UP. They have NOTHING to contribute. π ππΏ
shareDon't they make you feel better about yourself though?
If they all said nothing, you'd appear less intelligent relatively speaking.
Doesn't it feel good to be superior?
Would you want to give that up?
The problem with being capable of critical thought and self-evaluation, is that you can't enjoy the 'satisfaction of being more intelligent than everyone else' because one is innately plagued by the doubt that one is in fact more intelligent than anyone else. I'm effectively in the middle of the Dunning-Kruger curve. I'm intelligent enough to know, I'm NOT super-intelligent, and thus I'm in that unenviable position of being neither ignorant enough to feel superior, nor supremely intelligent enough to feel superior.
And I know that I've partly contradicted my OP by suggesting that the super-intelligent are also relatively incapable of critical thought and self-evaluation, much like the very stupid, but they're ALSO insufferable.
Maybe the world would be less advanced without super-intelligent people, but it would also be much bearable if ONLY people with IQs between, say, 100 and 125, existed (i.e. people of what is currently above average intelligence to high intelligence, but NOT geniuses). There would probably be fewer wars, conflict and hardship too.
The dummies and smarty-pants are dragging the rest of us down with their smug, self-satisfied BULLSHIT. ππΏπ ππ½
Time for a Harrison Bergeron revolution! Time for the rise of the *moderately* intelligent and capable!
