As you say, feminism is the cause of much of this problem. And as I have said elsewhere, intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing. These events have exposed a great deal of foolishness among intelligent people, exacerbated by the great power of social influence. Due to the social nature of human beings, it only takes a few well-connected fools to mislead an entire people. But don't doubt that intelligence is also important. A modern, technological civilization requires an average IQ of at least 90 - and of course requires a sufficient supply of individuals with significantly higher IQs. If the intelligent members of society eliminate themselves in their foolishness, everyone else will soon follow. We have built a civilization on technology, and if we do not have a sufficient number of people who are able to understand and maintain that technology, the whole edifice will fall. With this technology, enabled by intelligent - if frequently foolish - people, the earth can support many billions of people; without this technology, the earth might be able to support one billion. If, after having propped up our current population explosion, the intelligent members of society were to decrease thanks to this feminist foolishness, it would knock out that prop and lead to the premature deaths of billions. I have worked with plenty of co-workers who were decent, likable, and sometimes even hard-working people, who nevertheless could never have successfully completed their tasks without the input of those smarter than themselves. I have seen them sit there for hours on occasion, failing to figure out relatively simple concepts that their more intelligent peers grasped within seconds. These were not morons, either - they probably had IQs at least in the 90s. If they had to complete such tasks on their own, those tasks - essential to a modern, technological society - would never get done. So ask yourself whether it is worth it to equate intelligence with foolishness just because the two can coexist, and whether you don't really care if overall intelligence declines. Make fun of foolish intellectuals all you like - there are plenty of them and they deserve it - but take care that the joke is not on you. Baldur (visiting from GirlChat) |
