wisdom is a relative term. wisdom is not a relative term, intelligence is though One man's wisdom is another man's ignorance. Also, Intelligence is set. What matters is what you do with your brain power.

Humanity's adaptability is one of its greatest assets. People can learn if they remember how. Stupidity is genetic. So unless we want to go Nazi on this issue and eliminate all the idiots of the world, you need to think of something else. Its not genetic. Some brilliant people come from rediculous backgrounds.

What matters is what you do with your brain power. Aka WISDOM! Application. Wisdom is experience gained THROUGH using your intelligence, not the actual process of doing so. And wisdom could be bad wisdom. i.e. you could be wise if you knew a lot of ways something did not work, but no one else did.

Listen up. Everything, literally EVERYTHING, is relative. Why? Perception is relative. I'm not going into detail on it, it takes too long. Just know that it's a fact (that's AP Psychology again with a little Einstein sprinkled in).
Intelligence is genetic. Still, anyone above the retardation level is guaranteed the faculty for logic and reasoning as well as learning (many below the retardation level are also capable of logic and learning). No purge is necessary.

Wisdom's definition is debatable due to it's subjective nature. Everything has a subjective nature. That's relativity.

Some brilliant people come from rediculous backgrounds. true. But I am incredibly smart (I don't mean to brag). My mother is also incredibly gifted. and so is my father and grandfather. Stupid people also tend to produce more stupid people. Just look at my cousins on my beecher side of the family. They're all a bunch o' fucktards.

No quantum physics please.
Okay, so anyone not legally retarded has the capacity for logic. Will they use it? Maybe. Maybe not. From what I've seen of our nation: no.

No purge is necessary. I have a book you should read. It basically says that only a few things can be relative. Many things are in fact constants and people just don't like to acknowledge that.

I think Lucco meant: everything is relative, because everyone has an opinion.

Hence my "learn to learn" bit.
I'll say it again: intelligence is genetic. Psychologists have basically proved it, although there's still some debate around the subject.

Fine, so. People are born stupid or smart, to put it bluntly.
The fact remains that the general population doesn't think for itself. It lets other make up its mind. A propaganda campaign is the best way to enact beneficial change for everyone.

Everything is relative because everything has a different experience and therefore something different to compare to. Did you know that Japanese babies stop hearing the "r" sound after six months because Japanese doesn't have that sound in the language and the children therefore never hear it. That's why there's a stereotypical Japanese accent. People physically succumb to relativity.

Psychologists have basically proved it, although there's still some debate around the subject. there is always genetic fuckups that will be an acception A recessive gene for intelligence can still manifest itself in an otherwise stupid family tree. Still, facts are facts and intelligence is genetic. There have been twin studies and whatnot proving that intelligence and personality are largely due to genetics.
