3 days agoI’ve worked with some mentally challenged people in the past and through customer service. I’d much rather deal with someone with limited reasoning skills than someone who is genuinely intelligent. Intelligent people fail to see their own limitations and don’t know when to be humble. Some of the dumbest people on this planet are academics, top of their field, highly educated. Those people don’t know shit about anything because they’re hyper focused on one teeny tiny aspect of the universe. At least the mentally challenged know that they have limited reasoning skills and are fairly skilled at asking for help and knowing their limitations.
My theory is that people like attractive people so much that attractive people never really have to learn to do things for themselves because other people will gladly do it for them. So they end up stupid yet confident at everything they do. People just like attractive and confident people. If you ever look at leadership around you, you’ll notice that most of them are tall. It’s because we see tall people as authority because that’s how it was when we were kids. The tall people were in charge. Smart people are always unsure of themselves because there’s no way to predict what is going to happen for certain. So that’s why the world is run by overconfident dumb people.
