oh boy. if you don't know what too dumb to participate in society is, then you're either purposely obtuse or guilty.
i don't capitalize my words because i believe in casual conversation. this isn't a business proposal. lighten up.
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.
"I asked you to define “dumb” because that definition needs to be crafted extremely well"
that answer makes me think the same of you. there is no one size fits all rule. people need to start thinking in chaotic good terms. you know the people that shouldn't be allowed to participate when you see them. sociopaths have led us to believe that we as individuals do not have the capacity to make judgements so that that they can create abusive laws. start being a village again.
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?
ok. i see you struggle to think for yourself, so let me try to define dumb people for you.
