        The paradox is that less intelligent people are more excitable. So what we get is smart, civilized peope with no balls, and dumb energetic people willing to kamikaze. You can’t reason with unreasonable people, and unreasonable people see no reason to reflect on their actions. It’s a dangerous feedback loop that has put us on a collision course with collapse.

        Edit: long story short, hot take, the smart people need to figure out a way to attract more dumb people.
