That's a thing now. The fact that an accident of birth unfairly gifted you with above average intelligence makes you a miserable shitlord.
There's that fag talk again. 
These opportunities are being shifted upward to jobs that require heavier cognitive lifting or else are being replaced by robots. Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart. |

Quoted:
Wait, so my kid's straight-A's is just a random accident and not the result of hard work and studying? Huh, who knew? |

Maybe some kids grow up with better cognitive skills because they turned off the TV and the Xbox and read some fucking books, morans. As the song so eloquently says,
READ A BOOK READ A BOOK READ A MUTHAFUCKIN BOOK NOT THE SPORTS PAGE OR A MAGAZINE READ A BOOK READ A BOOK READ A MUTHAFUCKIN BOOK |

Quoted:
The same people insist you take what the climate and environmental scientists say without question, because they're scientists. ETA: "He's just flaunting his cognitive privilege" is going to be my go-to the next time my liberal friends bring up Bill Nye.

Federal government already addresses this, if you are intellectually challenged you can get be hired without competing against those with cognitive privilege.

How did society reach this point? Competent people would start tearing down the old guilds. Since conservatives are inherently behind the power curve, they prefer to shore up leftist legitimacy by attacking memes like this. It would be more productive for us to highlight eg the decline in median IQ among university graduates over the last 15 years. |

Sooooo..... If being smart is bad, does that make lefties racist against Asians? https://media.tenor.com/images/758951d6119bc78d4d9a7dbb628bead0/tenor.gif |

High intelligence is something Laura Townsend and Dan Williams will never have to "feel" guilty about having. Stupidity on the other hand, is something they should feel very guilty about having.
Neither should ever use the word "reality", because neither knows the actual meaning. The photo of Loren Glass reveals a he is a silly, frivolous person wearing his politics on his face, the facial hair of The Low IQ Left. Silly and frivolous are attributes that apply to Loren Glass, Laura Townsend, Dan Williams and the staff and management of The Daily Iowan as well as all who purchase or read the despicable trash rag. The job of journalist seems to attract a people of exceedingly low moral and intellectual character. |
| What if I told you that you are not some soul randomly assigned to a body in a lottery like setup, but that your consciousness and body are the result of epigenetic actions by your ancestors and through the lineage of their genes and their ideas that even at the moment of your conception you have in fact earned your privilege over others. |

Quoted:
Sufficient cognitive privilege creates meritocracy, meritocracy generates guilds, guilds sell out (if popular) or have arms races in intellectual fashion (in less reality-tethered spheres), and then guild quality drops. Competent people would start tearing down the old guilds. Since conservatives are inherently behind the power curve, they prefer to shore up leftist legitimacy by attacking memes like this. It would be more productive for us to highlight eg the decline in median IQ among university graduates over the last 15 years.

Quoted:
So if people are born gay, and being born a certain way isn't something to be proud of, does that mean people should not be proud that they are gay, and that gay pride parades are wrong? Just going for logical consistency here. There is no logical consistency to anything the liberal progressive left say or do. It's government sponsored cognitive dissonance. Idiocracy was a documentary. |
