All
of us are very gifted in some manner, but mostly in ways that society
has not found a profitable and thus, economically valuable,
use for. Intelligence tests are full of cultural bias and still only
measure a narrow range of human capabilities. One’s IQ also bears
no relation to their morality, kindness, citizenship or grace.
Anyone
deprived of a decent education, intelligent or not, will suffer from
ignorance. In fact, all of us are ignorant on infinitely more
subjects than those for which we can claim knowledge. Any education
which fosters critical thinking reduces the perils
of ignorance when facing novelty, advertising or politicians.
A
ruthless honesty combined with a lack of tact, though abrasive, can
cut
straight to the truth. Merely being politically incorrect is not
some form of immorality, as backbiting
sheep would have us believe. The impatient & those quick to
anger are, quite often, among our very highest performers.
low
in the form of intelligence required for rational thinking and
deprived of a proper education cannot be reasoned
with and is seriously difficult to interact
with.
