Schopenhauer thought that five-sixths
of humanity were contemptible, but I think the life-philosophies of the lower
classes contain no more errors than the life-philosophies of the
academic philosophers. Philosophers are full of abstract concepts
that have little resemblance to reality.
Donald Trump and his populist followers
are attacked as being stupid, but although the top sixth
of humanity may have higher IQ's---even genetically derived---and may
have more general information, they are no wiser than the bottom
fifth of humanity.
Hollywood stars have proven themselves
to be political idiots, but they are no more idiotic than the Big
Media. The problem is that some of these morons can be dangerous. Trump and his cabinet will have to find their way around all
of them if they are to put America first.
