    Please define how you are using the word smart because I don’t think you mean intelligent.

    Intelligent people are just as horrible as the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.

    Humans, en masse, are fucking horrible to each other while paradoxically thinking they are saints

      I disagree. I think theres a range of intelligence and the highest range, is like philosophers. Morality comes from philosophy. Only a bumbling idiot like Trump, can think it makes sense to abuse children, kill people, rape women, send people to war, create poverty, take rights, have rules for themselves and not for others, funnel all wealth to themselves asmuch as possible, only to do dumb shit like putting gold on their walls so they can feel worth something.

      The smartest people are wisest, and good people. Loke philosophers, like historical Jesus.

      There is a while range of idiots under that. The biggest ones get exploired by those that are slightly smarter.

      And shitty people can be capable of things like advanced math and learning at school.

      But they aren’t smart like discovering knowledge smart. Those people have a deep understanding of morality, and they must see how much of a fool you have to be to be maga, or Trump. Its an impossibility to desire to be that.

      Im probably just thinking “smart” is a lot smarter than you’re thinking. Those evil people you think are smart, I do not consider smart.
