I don't even know why i am replying to this:
a. I have never met anyone who was glad that they were unintelligent.
b. The notion that people choose not to be Einstein and instead
take up sport is ludicrous.
A central benefit of conversations like this is that people have to put
into words exactly what their position is: then consequences can be
derived, as they were above. At this point, so many of the cherished
beliefs of our world come into stark relief as the nonsense that they
are. Such is the case with notions of equipotentiality and communitarian
beliefs.
cheerio,
tim
