i think youre talking more about intellectualness if thats a word and what ive found with people of a higher iq tend to look down upon people and think theyre stupid. i too was afflicted with this then i realized theyre are not stupider but iam smarter. although i do have friends who can blow ne away mathmatically they cannot see the bigger picture of thinking logically or see through the bs they can do the problem but dont understand the pattern.

although i do agree with purple bananna i believe you guys are talking about different things

its like how barrack is president, most of america sees it as change but the ghetoo s see it as a front to avoid a civil or possibly a world war, buying time just what was needed for everyone to sit back and shut up from the bush regime but they both are funded by bilderburg. or how oprah and bill gates andd a couple other billionaires get together and its world news but when obamma dissapeared for a couple days to the bilderburg convention nothing was said by the media. this is the stuff i believe overthrow was speaking of. and if so america is blind or stupid.
You're right...I was speaking of intellectualism, more than simple intelligence. Interesting, what you said about realizing they are not stupider but you are smarter. My girlfriend says that if I hold people to my standards, I'll of course always be disappointed. I agree absolutely about the math thing--most of my friends are better at it than me, but just can't think logically about the big picture or see through the horseshit.

I was indeed speaking, in part, about the masses' tendency to focus on the superflous at the expense of the truly significant or the potentially troubling. I really fail to see how any reasonable being can deny the intellectual sterility of the populace, without resorting to pop-egalitarianism (our latest social disease).
