?

reply

I guess help do the work that the smart people have thunk about.

ie put water on the crops not brawndo.

Also it would be nice if they voted for smart people to be in charge , instead of fellow morons , which is what lead to the gov in the movie , and possibly about to happen in US. again.

reply

Can the smart people who get voted in be people who can feel real emotions including embarrassment instead of psychopaths?

I also would like to point out that just because a person is a "professional wrestler" does not mean that they are stupid but it does make them more likely to be a psychopath.

reply

well..... you've gotta rely on the stupid peopel to vote for clever people that are also not psychopaths

if it was up to me I'd instigate a clever test and a psychopath test that must be passed before running for office to help the stupid people out.

reply

Psychopaths always vote in other psychopaths because they know that it benefits psychopaths.

The clever test is an IQ test.

Most scientists are psychopaths and that is the reason why there is not any scientific test for psychopathy. Psychopaths know that if there was a scientific test for psychopathy then psychopaths would be banned from working in government.

well .... thats a real conundrum!

Luckily if found a link to a psychopath test

Now we can weed those sneaky varmints out!

"it would be nice if they voted for smart people to be in charge"

That would happen if only smart people voted, but alas...

reply

For starters. Keep their mouths shut when people who know more about it than they do are solving a problem.

Asking them to try and be smarter, like not say things like "Experts are stupid, we don't need them.." seems redundant. They'll never be smart enough to accept that smarter people should have the bigger influence in certain things. Just asking them to shut up seems to be the only realistic thing to do.

And by smarter, we mean people who are trained and have acquired expertise in order to excel at a subject matter. Not just people that the insecure and paranoid fear are just "better" than them and expect or deserve influence purely at others expense.

They can see that the intelligentsia are psychopaths so they do not trust you.

reply

"The intelligentsia"? That's a big word for a stupid person.

reply

stop reproducing but that's all they know how to do.

reply

Wouldn't psychopaths not reproducing make the world a good place to live?

reply

maybe but they get A LOT of stuff done..not just criminal behavior.

reply

Psychopaths are just a burden. The "stuff" that psychopaths get done is not needed.

reply

If by psychopaths, you mean violent people who engage in anti-social behavior, then sure.

But I think he's referring to people who can't feel empathy, but certainly know how to manipulate emotional people.
You'll find plenty of those in leader positions. No one knows how to handle pressure, stressful and difficult situations like a sociopath who'll gladly sacrifice a few innocent souls for the greater good.

Stay off the internet?

reply

Most all the people who come to moviechat are psychopaths so they are the same as you.

reply

I wonder if any of the stupid people will post in the thread and thank everyone for the recommendations .

reply

Get smart.

reply

I want them to stop voting for Democrats and Democrat policies. To stop lecturing me about how to think. To stop blaming me for shit that happened centuries before I was born. Basically, to live their lives according to whatever idiotic beliefs make them feel virtuous and superior, but leave me the fuck alone to live my life rationally.
