Wisdom and IQ are two different things. Fortunately for me I read Milton Friedman in High School so I became immune to the Collectivist propaganda that drives some high IQ people like Ted Kaczynski crazy.
Correct, and moreover, even though everyone likes to claim that their political beliefs are well thought out, a lot of it has more to do with emotional response and "values" than intellect.
People constantly wonder how it's possible for extremely intelligent people to hold insane political views. That's because political views appeal for emotional more than intellectual reasons. Einstein was a socialist bordering on communist in many of his views, but that wasn't due to any intellectual deficit. A different values system happened to appeal to his view of society, i.e. one where "fairness" is more important than liberty.
Friedman. A good man.
