Zone1 Why intelligent people scare society

[Votto]

I don't agree with all of the conclusions, but he is more or less spot on. After all, to agree with anyone about everything, would be labeled a nonthinker and lemming.

The points I don't agree with are, not having a free will as well as the illusion of being able to "prove" much of anything. I also take issue with intelligence being over emphasized as being important, especially when we have all met people who are very intelligent but with zero common sense or very intelligent people who are just flat evil bastards. In such cases, intelligence becomes more of a real threat to society than an answer to its ills. Intelligent people often fall into the trap of arrogance, thinking that just because they are smarter than the average village idiot, they will always know what is best for the village idiot as well as pretty much everything else. I would venture to say that the most intelligent person to have ever lived is an idiot intellectually when confronted to all that really is. In fact, the more we learn the more we should understand that we don't know, but often the reverse happens and they become more arrogant.

As for low IQ living on belief, I would say we all pretty much do, including the one in video giving us his theory on intelligence. Most of what we do depends on simply believing things to be true without ever proving them. For example, you turn on a light switch expecting the same result you have always gotten, without ever trying to prove what you are doing will work. If you want to prove something, take a math class, otherwise, you are out of luck.

Low IQ people living on emotion is also why all democracies end up failing, historically, at a very rapid rate. It's like trying to tell someone that even though the government is giving away free things, they are not really free. It is all based on a lie that will have a negative impact on the economy and other things that will eventually affect them negatively. But they just stare at you with a blank stare and continue as they were.

The Left are experts on motivating people through raw emotion, and generating non thinking mobs to carry out their goals. This is what they are experts in doing and precious little else.

I would also agree with the sentiment that trying to argue with a fool is futile.

As the Bible once stated, argue with a fool and you become like him.

But then how do we cohabitate with them? Should we give up on them, and society as well if they become a mob of fools?

Very hard questions to answer.

Your post entirely misses the mark.

You are barely one week removed from starting a thread of raw emotion and putting this quote out their about the Brown shooting: "This was not a random shooting, this was an assassination. She was Charlie Kirked."

For your OP to be accurate either you have to be a lefty or you just posted the most insane blind as a bat hypocrisy this site has seen. Tied for first with about 1 million other nonsense posts.

Well, the shooter at Brown is dead, so we will never know.

But what we do know about Charlie, is that he was targeted but the Left for his conservative and Christian views, just like the victim at Brown was conservative and Christian as well.

From what we do know about the shooter, he seemed intelligent and went out of his way to select certain targets, so my theory still stands

Prove me wrong

Oh yea, you can't.



The Left also targeted Trump, and Justice Kavanaugh, and the entire GOP Congress with a gun.

Think about it, the Left has tried to assassinate all three branches of government because they felt that they could not share political power with opposing points of view, so I just assume now they do this for everything to be consistent

Naturally, the media talks about none of this. They just focus on Orange man being Hitler, hinting that he probably should be Charlie Kirked. In fact, 1/3 of democrats polled said they wished Trump had been Chalie Kirked in Butler PA.

I've no doubt that there are plenty of intelligent dems....It's what they choose to do with it that is the concern.

I am often reminded of the story of the Garden of Eden.

Most people read the story and come up with the summarization is that God told them not to eat an apple, but they ate the apple.

But some people actually read something, try to process it, and try to understand what is actually being said.

Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Notice, nowhere does it say "apple", yet ask anyone and they will tell you it was an apple. Also, people glaze over the fact that the tree was called the tree of knowledge.

Why is a tree called knowledge? No one ever gives it any thought, but there are the exact words in plain sight.

Then I got to thinking, what threatens the most the existence of mankind? Is it not man's technology? We all told all the time how mankind is destroying the world through exploiting his knowledge of science, like using fossil fuels for energy, yet in the next breath call religion the source of all our ills and how science is the only thing that can save us.

Could the story mean that knowledge, which brings us power, brings us to death without wisdom on how to use the said knowledge?

Use that intellect to appeal to emotions....It's insidious AF.

Yeah, I know. Talking over people's heads is as boring for the talker as it is intimidating for the listener.

By eating the fruit Adam and Eve rejected revelation and chose to decide for themselves what was right and what was wrong. This continues today in the manufacture of knowledge that is actually destructive foolishness. Tragically we about to turn our collective knowledge over to a machine, which will destroy us.

Lol, I don't let people know what I know. They find out they want you to fix their things and situation for free. I run some rather large boats for a marina close to me. My job is Captain there. Been running as a subcontractor there for ten years now. I just get done running a trip thinking my day is over. CFO comes down stairs grabs me tells me her computer system is down she needs help. I am playing stupid. Sorry about your luck, what does it have to do with me? She remembers my resume from ten years ago. She is like systems admin on your resume. Guess what I got to do for the next three hours. I am like shit did she remember that or dig up that resume?

I freely dispense solutions to the world's problems , but most are ignored.

I showed my daughter the best way to floss, but she was unable to change to it. Old habits are hard to break.

You cant even admit when you are caught bald face lying. There is no discussion with you people. You hate and lie and lie and hate.

Pelosi (attempted murder - right wing conspiracy nut), Shapiro (attempted murder - conspiracy nut), Whitemir (attempted kidnapping/murder - right wing nationalists), Hartman (murdered - right wing religious nut), 4 New Mexico State reps (attempted murder - Republican state candidate convicted), Gifford (attempted murder shot in the head).

Charlie was assassinated by a gun nut right wing family product. His mom and dad taught him to love guns and when he became a depressed sad boy he decided to kill. No motivation was ever found. You can copy and paste the sad boy shootings on almost every shooting. Both Trump attempts were Republicans.

The fact is you lack intelligence and that leaves you susceptible to being manipulated. Can’t happen to me because I know how to look up facts and data. Your OP is terrible.
