  • I don’t think they are intelligent if they are conservative. Conservatism is objectively bad for the collective. Supporting it means, ultimately, hurting the planet even to the point of making it uninhabitable. And if you think that you, with all the money in the world, can survive in a world like that, then you are not very intelligent.

    They are selfish, and they might have some skills. But I don’t think they can be called intelligent when they lack the critical thinking skills to question the most basic concepts of conservatism.



  • from a logical standpoint, conservatism is lacking any kind of sense or logic. I think it’s safe to assume that, in order to follow blindly an idea that crumbles as soon as you critically think about it, you have to lack the ability to critically think.

    What I think tho is that it’s empathy what we should link to intelligence (or whatever you want to call the skill set that allows you to question and critizice everything).

    Conservatism is a lack of empathy (which comes with a lack of said “intelligence”).
