High IQ doesn’t seem to prevent leftist magic thinking, if Gates and others like him is any indication.
Yeah, intelligence is a fuzzy concept.
The best definition of it that I've read is that it is the ability to see reality for what it is. It is the ability to set aside one's biases and prejudices and analyze a situation.
But it does seem to be selective. People can be very intelligent in one area and not very in another.
Thankfully, I've never suffered from that particular problem.
Heh.
Why would high IQ prevent leftist thinking? The ideology is based on a small set of geniuses telling everyone what’s good for them. Morality and wisdom are what separates left and right, not intelligence.
high IQ means the left did everything they could to sink their ideological hooks into the kid via school
