Do I seem normal to you?
Well, my intellectual abilities are in the 98th percentile. 99th percentile, for women. That isn't very impressive, on the scale of a world population of 8 billion. But forming a government out of people with _at least_ my logical abilities is difficult, as so many of us are tied up in other important projects (like Nostr 😁). If you are not extremely careful, your government will consist mostly of people
WHO CANNOT REASON CLEARLY AND THEREFORE HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO.
Look at Germany. Learn from our mistakes. Do not allow yourself to be ruled by kind, well-meaning people who cannot think through a complex argument or handle conditionals and variables, and the weighing of eventualities.
They will seem smart.
They will sound smart.
They are smart!
But not like that, tho.
