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 could write far too much to answer you. *restrain* *restrain*

But anyways, I need clarification before I carry on: So what you mean by intelligence is "the natural ability to memorise information and to regurgitate it at a later date"? And what do you mean by privilege? By privilege do you mean "something we are either born with or aren't born with"? If so on both accounts, then I agree. :)

But "intelligence" and "privilege" seems to be currently thrown around loosely and with their other meanings, I would not agree with you.
