I would gather everyone in the world, and tell them all of my views. For those who disagreed, I would open a fat can of whoop-ass upon them, for they would be morons.

Job done.

A good war tends to do the trick. It ain't the cheapest or best method, but the dumb people will die over the course of it. Just keep the smart people behind the desks and hand the idiots machine guns....On second thought....scratch that plan.

A big lever that says
DON'T PULL THIS
and of course upon pulling it, the person who pulled said lever is dropped into a pit full of rabid weasels

As we have all known for quite some time, the world is overrun by idiots, religious zealots, and lunatic politicians, most belonging to more than one group at a time.

So, how do we cut down the population of the less-than-adequately intelligent people?

These could be anything from better education to the classic "Kill with fire" method.

For a little added fun, how would you determine who is or is not intelligent in the world today?

Remember, intelligence is not something that is easily determined, and killing a large population has major ramifications that you may not consider immediately.
Give a handful of people in each region of a country permission to kill people they feel aren't worthy on sight.

For example, in the UK we have "Chavs" pretty much every single "Chav" you meet has dropped out, or skips school as often as they can. Some 'grown up' "Chavs" live off of the Governments money and put nothing back into society, they just waste tax payers money on drink and drunks. These people are easily spotted and it should be made law to kill said "Chavs" on sight, thus making the UK a cleaner and safer place to live.

NOTE: excuse the spelling.

Firstly, IQ is only a rough estimate, and it doesn't always express intellegence, it may simply indicate one's knowlage on certian parts of the test.

secondly, intellgence does not nessacrly mean smartness or knowaldge, there is really know good measurble way to difine intellgence. intellgence may be problem solving skills, it may be the abillty to comprhend abstract concepts etc. indiuvaily, THOSE aspects can be measured, but there are so many diffrent factors or qualtlys seen as "intellgent".

Third, just because someone has a genetic or otherwise dissaabilty, does not mean theyu are not intellgent. I for example, have a neurological disorder (A certian type of autisim), and I'd say that if anything, makes me MORE intellgent.


Now that I have got that out of the way, I can contribute. educatiton can only do so much. the things that I belive that make people "not intellgent" are these factors:

- bias
- unwillgness to see things from a diffrent point of view
- not thinking beyond soicitial, cultiral, ethical etc standerds or rules

and so on. I have a good example, but it involves relgion and science, so please read this with an open mind:

For example, one thing that contally baffles me is how hyper-relgious people will not execpt evolution at all, and how ultra science... uh... people *selffacepalm* refuse to accept any fort of relgoius explanation. There is nothing in the bible/torah/koran that goes aganist the theory of evolution. likewise, there is nothing in science that indicates the absence of reliogious enitiys. evolution just says that if a fish is born with a defect that makes it more likly to survive, it will be more kiley to pass that defect to it's offspring. eventaully, the defect will be a standerd trait of the species. that's commen sense, it'd be nearly impossble for that NOT to happen without something purposly affecting the process. why can't anyone think that maybe god created the universe etc etc, and evoultion took place after the first living benings were created? I do not nessarcly think that, but you get the idea.

I can go on on diffrent examples and such, but I'm getting bored.

Every human being is an idiot.
Every human being is a genius.
We judge people's intelligence based on how much their beliefs fall within our own.
Any war in history is somebody trying to rid the world of stupid people.
War is stupid.
Don't suffer fools gladly? Well then you are a fool.

A fool believes himself wise but a wiseman knows he is a fool.

This is a really ignorant thread.

As for my way. Let time and events run their course.

Edit: also IQ doesn't mean shit... really. It is a test of arbitrary parts of someones ability to do things. It is useless. Before you attempt the argument my IQ is 140.

Real scientific answer: just wait.

For the past 100 years or so human intelligence has been steadily increasing at almost an alarming rate, I mean the people who were considered of "normal intelligence" back in the 1920's to 1940's would today be considered Retarded today, that is moved a whole 30 IQ points down from 100 to 70 due to how the IQ ranking is a normalised curve, it is constantly readjusted for average world intelligence.

We are also getting taller and more beautiful too.

It's called sexual selection, when populations are no longer want for food or security then only the hot people get laid, rather than just those that are able to survive to breeding age.

See? That's intellgence.

EDIT: While I agree that IQ tests are not very reliable, it may show a rough estimate. likewise, a "stupid" person may score highly. I also have an IQ around there (I never got the exact number)
And yeah, every human (myself included) is both stupid and intellgent.

the best way, instead of your extremist propositions, would be to replace their brain-damaged with a genious brain, then there won't be need of brawl.

This is a pretty reasonable argument.

Ask them if the bible is real? Er... Ask them how to pronounce nuclear. Or ask them something about politics, like if socialism is bad or good, or if videogames poison children and turn them into murdering psychopaths?.
So if they disagree with you they are stupid? hmmmm...


I say we need to get rid of the ridiculous "ghetto" culture, and any others, that disregard education as unimportant, compared to "gettin' some hoes" or "Becomin a jesus warrior".

You can't. Intelligence is not an easy thing to measure. Many people excel in certain areas of study, but fail others. The skills you would associate with intelligence could mean nothing to another person. You probably think your smart, but I guarantee someone's definition of intelligence disagrees. For example, I think it's stupid to classify people based on intelligence, and even dumber to try and kill people because of it. What you are suggesting is not an intelligent idea, at least to me.

And I don't think we should ever kill somebody because of intelligence, You don't have to be a genius to contribute to society. Whether you like it or not, the people you brand as unintelligent are probably still serving society in some way.

Someone's opinion on socialism is subjective. Besides, you're suggesting that a person is only intelligent if they care about politics.

Its Easy... Eugenics. Stupid people or people with genetic deficiencies aren't allowed to make offspring. Its like forced evolution.
Yes because genetics automatically determines how smart someone will be. It has nothing to do with the quality of their education or their living conditions.


Also, how come the OP didn't even answer his own question? It's his goddamn thread.
Sir I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Killing/eugenics is never the answer. There are times though when I see something really frustrating in the news and I must admit a simple sterilisation for the low IQ, spoilt, fat, lazy, bigoted, willfully ignorant, superstitious f*cks that make up a good chunk of the English speaking world (I can't speak for the rest) feels like the easy answer.

Proper education and a common appreciation for the scientific method is the answer to most of the world's problems. It makes me angry that in the wealthy west so many people don't want to get educated and would rather fall back on their easy answer dogmas/belief systems.
