i actually don't tend to measure people's worth by their intelligence.

i mean, say what you want about me, but i do very well on aptitude tests - meaning i fit the definition of a very smart person. i consistently score in the highest percentiles.

so, if i was going around attacking everybody for being fucking idiots, which is always relative, i'd have to spend all my time in my room by myself typing on the internet.

i want to evaluate people on their levels of altruism - on their kindness, on their politics, on their broad viewpoints and world view.

i've stated this repeatedly: i'd rather spend time with a virtuous idiot than with a conniving genius. and, i'm consequently more likely to fall in love with a simple peasant boy or girl with a big heart in the right place than i am with a wealthy tyrant that's clawed their way to the top through lies and manipulation.
