My issue is that whoever defines what "dumb" is becomes the defacto dictator. I could choose a set of values that align with what I think are important - Someone who does well in an IQ test, someone who understands the importance of being physically fit - and then all of a sudden, people with disabilities become marginalized.
I asked you to define "dumb" because that definition needs to be crafted extremely well. The fact you didn't realize this makes me think you're dumb. Maybe you shouldn't participate in society.
You literally said
And then followed up with
So you think dumb people shouldn't participate in society, but you also don't think you can define who dumb people are.
I appreciate the sentiment, but what happens when someone starts to accumulate power, and there's no laws to stop them? You think people are going to rise up? You think the people who rise up won't become the next dictator?
Your lack of ability to see the flaw in your argument means you have no critical thinking skills, and your insult towards me means you have no empathy.
As the person in charge of deciding who is dumb, I have deemed you dumb, and you can no longer participate in society. You have now been evicted from your house.
