Morons quickly run into contradictions, hypocrisy, and nonsense, signaling their lack of reasoning and intellect. They can’t work things out or rationalize life, inside their head. They might be able to tackle small problems and life experience, but a small rise in complexity and they give up. Children and teenagers are ‘assigned’ their IQ level, while developing. By the time a person is 18, s/he knows, mostly through her peers, friends, family, teachers, students, etc. whether s/he has intellectual potential or not. Some are convinced that they’re much smarter than they actually are. These are the types that tend to embarrass themselves publicly, common on ILP.
Morons have a need to be Seen and Heard, but must compete against much more intelligent, rational, and reasonable people. It’s a basic competition in life. Stupid types who are stronger/larger, tend to use their voice in public to shout over others and challenge anybody through yelling matches. These types, although they might appear physically intimidating at first, are simply emotionally driven. Like on ILP, appeal to emotion fallacy is commonplace. Most here want to “fit in” and “be accepted”, more than the (Objective) task at hand…doing philosophy, and being competent at philosophy.
It’s a difference between Objective-motives, versus Subjective-motives. Is your mind turned inward, focused on boosting your own Ego, your popularity… or is your mind focused on something External to yourself, a Goal, an Ideal? Truth, perhaps??
It’s easy for the intelligent to outshine and humiliate the unintelligent. But is it worth it? The fool is spiteful, hateful that you stole his precious Attention and spotlight. This is a large brunt of resentment from the inferior toward the superior. This is why the masses of humanity must be spoonfed, with sugar-pills, nothing too bitter. And their Egos must be soothed, as a parent coddles their infantile child, stroking the dull mind as you would a house pet.
