My biggest issue in life is that I am too competent.
Stupid people have it so easy in life, because they dont know that they are stupid.
But I know that they are stupid, and I have to live my life observing stupid people make stupid mistakes over and over.
And worst of all is, it is impossible to explain to a stupid person why they are stupid.
It cant be done.
If stupid person knew why he is stupid, he wouldnt be stupid.
It actually takes high intelligence to be able to recognize stupidity.
Stupid people think that stupid is smart. they are stupid because they fail to recognize what stupid even is.
I have plenty of things in my life.
I have food, place to live, and most importantly, I have smartphone to play games on. My brain works well.
But I cant say that I am consistently happy.
I am happy most of the time, but there are times when I look at the world and feel sad.
this isnt because there is something wrong with me, but because there is something wrong with the world.
the people in the world are incompetent, so they make the world bad.
But worst part is that most people think they are competent, and this is the most incorrect conclusion one could have.
Lets look at logic:
P1. World is terrible
P2. World is run by competent people
C. Competent people created a terrible world
the reason why conclusion is self-contradictive is because either P1 or P2 is wrong, and P1 isnt wrong, which leaves us with P2 being wrong. In other words, world is not run by competent people.
this is called negative deduction, where we logically conclude that if premises logically lead to conclusion, and conclusion is self-contradictive, then one of premises must be false.
So we dont deduce the conclusion in argument, but we deduce another conclusion that premise is wrong.
So yeah, world isnt run by competent people. to even suggest that yields a contradiction.
But ask an average person, and they will say they are competent.
So the problem is this:
A large percentage of people who think they are competent are actually not competent.
this is why religion such as Christianity promotes a person to be humble, to avoid this self-delusion. And for most people, being humble works because they arent competent.
But when non-competent people think they are competent, it makes it much more difficult for actually competent people to improve the world.
Sort of like piloting a plane where 1 competent pilot and 10 people who cant even fly a plane fight for control over plane. Of course competent person wont succeed in getting control there.
Same with anything else. When any competent minority fights for control against incompetent majority, it is always incompetent majority who wins.
And victory of incompetent majority is at the same time their defeat because they are not competent to do what they are trying to do, and just end up make things worse.
I support rule of the smart, not of majority. Majority can maybe serve as check so that smart people in power dont abuse their power, but majority rule is basically always rule of incompetent people.
So I propose a government system where only people over 150 IQ can be members of government council, where council elects its own members based on IQ test, and majority of masses can replace individual members of the council with another high IQ members, but only if 70% of majority of masses agrees.
