Keep in mind, there’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye.You and I are just two Freepers having a conversation.

But the there are posters here whose real purpose is a deliberate assault on FreeRepublic. They often work in teams of three or so. Some are paid by political organisations, and are fairly bright. But you can possibly hinder their agenda by knowing some of their many weaknesses.

They are only bright enough to provide an opportunity for their overseers to exploit them.

They’re not bright enough to understand that the measure of true intelligence is categorically distinct from traits like ability to deceive or manipulate.

And they’re not bright enough to see that their supervisors’ authority is only the result of dumb luck, not from any special ability. In fact, this vein of dumb luck goes all the way up the organisation to the top of the pyramid.

One last thing. It’s not only dumb luck, it’s bad.
