And I have an IQ that has been variously measured between 165 and off-the-graph. I also have dual brain activity with left and right brain equal which is very, very rare. One doctor told me I had the highest creativity score he had seen in his 30 years of practice. So, please…

You’re talking nonsense. Einstein changed the world. Alexander Fleming changed the world (antibiotics). The scientific methodology created during the Enlightenment took the world out of the dark ages and superstition.

You’re cherry picking your ‘facts.’

You have no evidence whatsoever ever that Lenin, Nazis, are and the people you mention were highly intelligent. They were psychopaths. You also have no evidence that Rosa Parks wasn’t highly intelligent. You’re confusing elitism with intelligence.

English is probably the dumbest subject in the world. You don’t need to be particularly bright to get a Ph.D in it. It is also a pretty useless degree. I would agree with you that it certainly doesn’t solve any human problems. For that you need a science degree. Consider that medical researchers, science researches, engineers, etc. solve a lot of human problems.

You wouldn’t be able to drive across a river without a bridge, and the bridge was created through intellect – not compassion. The electric light you use at night was created through intelligence. There is nothing in your modern life today that was not created as a result of intelligence.

Compassion cannot save the world. I don’t’ focus on it because the kind of people who keep writing about how compassion (and don’t forget empathy) will save the world have very little life experience. They’re also generally hurting in some way, and they desperately want the world to be kinder to them.

That doesn’t mean I lack compassion. It just means I don’t focus on compassion to solve the world’s problems.

And, by the way, metaphysics is a complete load of hogwash.
