Didn’t say they were.

But seems a lot of them are like Isaac Asimov. High IQ but believed that socialism was a superior economic system. Is such a person really intelligent?

IQ testing is highly overrated.

Isaac Asimov...I have pretty much all the issues of IASFM from 1980-1993. Two things about that magazine’s run stand out : One, a crappy , trite story with cardboard characters and crappy dialogue will happily be published so long as it bashes Christianity (that may have been Shawna Mccarthy’s doing, not IA’s) and two, Mr Rocket Scientist/Foundation Series Novelist mocking the guy who sent in a letter expressing a wish for a cable station devoted to science fiction films and TV series. IA stated (very condescendingly) that there just weren’t SF fans in the USA to make such a station a financial success..Just a few years before the Sci Fi channel started its long and successful run. (Though I will concede that the Sci Fi channel seems to show a lot more horror and fantasy than SF/sci fi, but whatever....)
