My da is an extremely smart and intelligent man.
That does not mean that he is right all the time or not susceptible to propaganda.
It also does not mean that he cares about the well-being of people or has empathy for their hardships and suffering.
In short: just because you are smart doesn’t mean that you can be trusted to do the right thing for people.
The pros would be for the few smart people at the top. They would have lavish palaces and tons of wealth.
The rest of us would suffer miserably, and the world would get steadily worse.
Smart people aren’t always good people. Putting smart people with egos in charge will lead to stronger class divide and bad choices.
Good point. We should have a niceness test too.
Brilliant people are only brilliant at their area of expertise. They can be horribly, even dangerously stupid in other areas. What’s worse is that they often think they are brilliant at everything. (See Linus Pauling, vitamin c.)
