I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

I think intelligence is a privilege. And the most underrated privilage at that. I think it trumps race, gender and sexuality. It's probably about the same as wealth/class but under disability.

The word 'IDIOT' should be considered a hate crime!! (Ok maybe I took that too far..but I believe the first part)


EDIT: I'm not saying intelligent people don't have just as difficult life's as anyone. I don't really believe in any large group of people being considered "privileged" (actually hate that word and think it's over used) everyone's life's are different based on their personal situation. But if we're talking in terms of privilege as its thrown around today then yeah, intelligent people should be added to the huffington posts axis of evil 🙃

I'm not sure that I agree. Intelligence isn't just something one is born with. You can put effort in to educate your mind and train it to do better. Most fools that I know are fools because they don't give a damn about thinking or reasoning and that is their own fault.
