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 🙃

@callme nah I think intelligence is genetic. Sure anyone can read and learn more stuff and put it to good use. But if you are born dumber from dumber parents then it'll be much much more difficult. It's like being born poor. You can work hard learn to deal with your surroundings and become middle class one day but it's easier if your just born middle class.
