      Define dumb, otherwise I’ll start by saying it’s the people who don’t capitalize words

          My issue is that whoever defines what “dumb” is becomes the defacto dictator. I could choose a set of values that align with what I think are important - Someone who does well in an IQ test, someone who understands the importance of being physically fit - and then all of a sudden, people with disabilities become marginalized.

          I asked you to define “dumb” because that definition needs to be crafted extremely well. The fact you didn’t realize this makes me think you’re dumb. Maybe you shouldn’t participate in society.

              You literally said

              dumb people shouldn’t participate in society.

              And then followed up with

              there is no one size fits all rule [to define dumb people]

              So you think dumb people shouldn’t participate in society, but you also don’t think you can define who dumb people are.

              sociopaths have led us to believe that we as individuals do not have the capacity to make judgements so that that they can create abusive laws. start being a village again.

              I appreciate the sentiment, but what happens when someone starts to accumulate power, and there’s no laws to stop them? You think people are going to rise up? You think the people who rise up won’t become the next dictator?

                  Your lack of ability to see the flaw in your argument means you have no critical thinking skills, and your insult towards me means you have no empathy.

                  As the person in charge of deciding who is dumb, I have deemed you dumb, and you can no longer participate in society. You have now been evicted from your house.

                  Do you see the problem with your idea, yet?

      There isn’t really agreement on who is too shitty to “participate in society”, whatever that means. And if you build a mechanism to exclude people, assholes will use it for evil.

      But like if I had a magic wand I would remove all republicans from power. They make it easy by self identifying as shitheads.
