There is a probematic split, probably due to capitalism favoring stem education, between what we consider intelligent and wisdom. The latter is cultivated from engaging with "idle" topics such as philosophy, art, history and cultures, all that stuff that doesnt make any money and takes time spent not working.
So naturally these arent things the oligarchy engages with in any way that is conducive to the development of actual ethical beliefs, morals, or feelings of social responsibility. This is reinforced by the fact that those ethics would conflict with their entire existence and role in society, and self interest wins out.
Actual intelligent people by IQ or by education? Those are the ones working for the Billionaires, pushing shit ads to our eyeballs and enshittifying platforms for us.
Actual intelligent people by street smarts are pushing for democracy, better technology, better education, but their voices are being drowned out by the wave of hate caused by lack of adult education.
Usually there's something wrong in their brains. Most people don't like to screw over other people, but they do, and they think they're so smart for finding a "loophole".
I'm confused. They think they are smart, let's say an IQ of 150. If they were half as smart, they would have an IQ of 75, but it's the IQ they already have, there would be no difference.
Billionaires are aggressive, their drive to dominate is what makes them rich, not their intelligence. When you're not concerned about consequences or how you're perceived, it's very easy to step over people without losing sleep.

If billionaires were half as smart as they think they are, we'd all be a lot worse off. | Spyke

Would we though? Actual intelligent people tend to consider the greater good.
If they considered the greater good, they wouldn't be billionaires, catch 22.

Exactly.

Education doesn't mean intelligent. There's plenty of educated idiots.
Completely agree. And that’s why the second part of my comment. Actually intelligent ppl are protesting the world over right now.
Those robots look like they would be a lot of fun to drag out into a field and smash with bats and pipes like a printer.

The implication is their IQ is currently well below 75.
I think the point is that they are a bunch of narcissists that think they are way smarter than that.
Problem is they pay people to be smart for them. Most of them are just selfish dumbasses.
