Intelligence has no chance
in a culture where
you cannot say in public
"I hate Latinos"
or
"I hate Blacks"
or
"I hate Italians"
But it is
perfectly acceptable
to say
"I hate Math"
Intelligence requires hearing
two sides of a story
but that takes too long
for most people
who need that time
to point fingers
of rage and righteousness
as their media of choice
directs them

Footnotes
This idea was stated somewhere
in the GodFather Trilogy
about 3000 pages ago.
A quick example
of the stranglehold
on intelligence is that
people will quickly interpret
what I said above
as racist
