<<<Dr. Paul may be many things - but he is clearly not limited by his intellect. Same would go for Ayn Rand - you may not like her or her philosophies but you need at least an IQ of 120 just to read her.>>>
There are more than 60 million people on earth with IQ's above 140. The world is getting more competitive. It has only been a little more than 100 years (1903) since they built the first airplane but 100 years later the Wright Brothers would unlikely have the intellect to participate in exploring space.
My point is this, most of our current leaders, philosophers, and business people are dinosaurs. People like Ron Paul, Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand, Michael Moore, Harry Reid, etc and people of their caliber will not be able to compete in the near future.
However it will take some time to transition to the future where you need to be educated in order to have an important role in becoming a leader. This doesn't mean we discard all the people like myself and degrade their value as human beings. We should all have access to health care, education, and be able to pursue happiness but we should have some humility and leave the heavy lifting, to people who have the ability, the appropriate values, and the desire to advance civilization and make life better for everyone.
We have to weed out all the pretenders and the delusional. |
