A poor attempt at humour on my part, it is a line from Starship Troopers, which is the movie I’ve spent my day thinking about.
In response to your signature here’s one from Homer
“Beer, the cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems”
here’s my witty reply:the greatest intellectual in the universe is god,whom is not subject to corruption and decay, as even the most elite humans are.
also there is the small fact that he created us, and therefore,would know absolutly how we should live.
i just cant help feeling this was a difficult question with an easy answer.
actually i would have to disagree,
The question adresses “an intellectual”, God cannot be an answer to that as God is beyond that (in my belief of course), because the question is adressed to a person being the “intellectual” but i consider God to be beyond a person or a thing but a divine being who is infinite and ultimate and beyond the universe. Thus this question is adressed to people and not to a supreme being, making this complicated question have a complicated answer
in that case i belive they should only advise. execess of that would make them dictators,extremists even cartoonish super villans.if intellectuals interfere with ‘dumb’ or average people’s lives,thinking they know better, they might about some things,but the manipulated would ultimatly revolt.
it leads back to athority.does a born human have some birthright to control another,equal, if you will.
to make all this easyer on us, i just do what jesus says.he strove to teach, not to the intellectuals, but to the common folk~
and i now feel the urdge to quote mattew 11:25:‘at that time jesus said in responce:i publicly praise you father,because have hidden these things from the intellectual ones,and revealed them to babes…’
also i just HAVE to quote one more~
1st corinthians 3:19’For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with god,for it is written:He catches the wise in thier own cunning.’
dumb people rule the world as much as clever ones do.
cough Bush…cough…
plus remember: at the end of the day you need the trash collector ( apparently known in America as a sanitary engineer ) as much as you need the scientists and docters and stuff…they are both special!!! the good hearted should have the right to rule!!! 
There’s a huge difference between a people having a right and a people taking advantage of that right
they both have an equal right.
hey fish, i cant help but say:you are so damn right!
In fact they rule it more than clever ones…unhappilly. The world is, has always been, and will always be ruled by idiots. You won’t find any man worth admiration in the whole history of human politcs, only mediocre minds, like Bush, Stalin, Roosevelt, Napoleon, Hitler, Truman, Reagan…men without wisdom, without dignity, without a single trace of humanity…
only mediocre minds can think they have the right to control anyone…tell anyone how to live…Live your life, let others live theirs, and everything is fine…haven’t you enough problems of your own?
no the good-hearted, surely. The good-hearted can’t rule. Ruling is to the bad, evil, mediocre-hearted, believe me. But your post is fine.
When I read it, I saw you could only be joking.
MMMMmmmmm. yes, Hitler might have been fairly clever and manipulative but the idea of the perfect race…is so dumb that i nearly choked on an apple when i first heard about it. I mean, he didn’t have any proof that that race was better in any way in any case. retarded. I was reasonably impressed with the way Roosevelt handled the Great Depression. Minimum deaths, you know, unlike was the case with stalin’s 3 five year plans where millions died to improve the country. But then again Roosevelt’s link to the atomic bomb is disappointing. And people like napoleon, did they honestly think they could take over the entire world? even if they did there would always be millions of brains out there, trying to outsmart this leadership and bring it down and restore honor to their countries and stuff. sad.
