Do you have any idea how stupid this is?
Then you may have "cognitive privilege"? As the intersectional left continues to kill satire through its very existence, we advance toward the bright future of idiocracy.
Here's the Daily Iowan. The college paper of the University of Iowa. And where better to denounce "cognitive privilege" than a college paper.
There are many kinds of privilege besides white privilege: cognitive privilege, for example. We now know that intelligence is not something we have significant control over but is something we are born with. We are living in a society in which success is increasingly linked to ones intelligence. ... Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart.
Dan Williams, the author, of this piece, is justly not proud.

Get this.......A Harvard grad is upset because her “White Male Boss” fired her for being late on her FIRST DAY on the job. Checkout her attitude! I hope her boss has a copy of this video to send out to other employers checking her work history.

That’s a spoof !
Yep I am sure when cavemen had to deal with stupidity they did not just vote you off the island.
Now, now. The girl is a “victim” of parents who neglected to administer a bit of corporal punishment, when she had one tantrum too many as a child. Poor dear just does not know how to behave in relation to other people.
White folks was in caves while we were building empires . We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and those Greek homos ever got around to it.
Wow... This college prof really slammed the highly intellectual black/African race. Wonder if he will loose his job?
The Nobel Prize for Physics in 2046 will now be drawn from the lottery pool, check your tickets.
Irony can be really ironic sometimes.
They probably voted you into the pot....................
Right, I have a drawer full of their keys, phones, id’s, wallet’s, eyeglasses.... that are lost all the time.
Some of these people lose their keys a couple times a week. One girl, uses our dept. charge card and the third time she used it, she lost it. She couldn’t use her professors... because the Prof lost their own, too
They can’t follow guidelines, fill out forms, the don’t GET academic compliance, and it’s amazing how they can get themselves HERE daily, without incident...
Last week, one of them left a lab door open because she didn’t know how to lock it without the key....like, she couldn’t reach over and turn the latch on her way out...
I guess I'm stuck with Cognitive Privilege.

Intelligence is nothing when not developed. That's why people need to get a good education (including dead-white-algebra, dead-white-slaveholder history, and dead-white-literature).
That IS something that is earned.

Oh, come on, that video has to be a spoof! Many on FR would have written a similar dialog for her.
Fun to watch, though.
That reminds me of Nancy Mitford: “It is so lovely to be lovely ONE.”
I was discussing this topic with a friend the other day—how a variety of ancient cultures dealt with dangerous and/or stupid members of their tribe.
Some cultures just banned them from the civilization and left them to try to survive in the wilderness.
One more modern culture just sent them on boats to Australia. :-)
are you saying some academics are absentminded?
and damned be those of us who are motivationally privileged. (e.g. willing to get off our butts and work for a living)

Amen! And cognitively privileged enough to realize that working hard to achieve the highest possible goals is exactly how the world works. Motivation means that when we fail, we get up and keep on going, because what other choice is there, really? Oops! There’s that cognitive privilege, again.
