Idiots

We see them daily. People who think poking bears is a good idea and whose IQ is usually about equal to their shoe size. Our whole civilization is plagued by them, and unfortunately they're a majority.

It's no small wonder accidents are so prevalent, or crime rates so high, when the majority of people do not want to fill in gaps in their knowledge and banish their ignorance. The problem is, nobody cares one bit. Especially in their teenage years.

Despite the fact that people who are in a position of power are usually intelligent people, there is not much that can be done to prevent accidents caused by incredible stupidity and general lack of care that does not impinge upon your average halfwit's human rights.

But, if every bit of common sense points to a solution of, say, not allowing people under a certain intelligence threshold to drive, why not implement such a solution? Yes, it's all well and good and very liberal to say that everyone should be allowed to do what they want within reason in the country they are a long standing resident in, but this is the only opposition that holds any ground.

I think it seems silly to ensure that more accidents and fights and 'bad shit' happens simply because these fools happen to belong to the same species as us by allowing them to make important decisions. Intellectually, there are many people who are vastly inferior to many of us, and yet they are allowed to make highly intellectual decisions that are beyond their comprehension. Yes, that is a reference to politics. Politics comes into this too.

In such an intellectual and deeply important environment, somebody who believes that there is no evidence for evolution and that setting other people's pets alight is fun and clever has the same amount of influence in politics as a university graduate. I hope this makes as little sense to you as it does to me.

Unfortunately intelligence is difficult to define, so there is no fair test that could be implemented before somebody makes an important decision that would accurately measure how intellectually capable they are. IQ tests vary greatly and have little effect on driving, for example.

So what do we do? Well, we can't do anything. We all have to grit out teeth and resign ourselves to the fact that the majority of the world's population of humans are foolish, moronic, cold-lamppost-licking, tabloid reading, infuriating idiots.
