ROFL.
What you call intelligent is a mental perversion.
People, by nature, want to hunt, fish, and gather for a living.
But the world is too overcrowded for people to live like that any more.
So now we expect them to like working in unnatural jobs, jobs antagonistic to their mental and physical nature, and we call them lazy or stupid if they don't want to endure such torture.
How perverse.
I'd call you a fool, but with a tag like "Age of Reason", I suspect that you are far worse - off the top of my head, I'd guess that you're an Ayn Randian nihilist who welcomes the death of humanity.
But on the off chance that I'm wrong, and you're merely a fool: I URGE YOU FREEPERS WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS TO SHUT YOUR MOUTHS AND GO READ UP ON THE SUBJECT.
The United States will collapse under the weight of dysgenic fertility circa 2020.
Europe and the Pacific Rim will largely have ceased to exist at that point [even now, as we speak, many areas in Europe and the Pacific Rim are already effectively extinct].
And when the United States collapses under the weight of dysgenic fertility, it will be people like the child in Bristol Palin's womb who will have to assume the burden of leading humanity through the coming Dark Ages and trying to reconstruct some semblance of a civilization.
