It strikes me that if one creates a graphical frequency distribution of intelligence, based on any criteria that you might come up with, pretty close to 50% of our population is going to be below average.
That suggests to me that this group is vulnerable to well-designed simplistic argument that appeals to them.
But you don't have to be smart to be very, very destructive. And you don't have to be smart to vote.
Doesn't it seem obvious then, that some kind of societal provision needs to be made so that a potentially massive movement does not arise that wants to make things better for itself, but instead simply blows everything up?
