I can't understand the argument that the party one votes for is an indication of one's intelligence. (OTOH, one's wisdom could be correlated.)
Maybe I'm a self-deluded possessor of excess intelligence, but it seems to me that there is a diminishing rate of return for intelligence. Exactly how much IQ must one have to be successful/happy?
Maybe Ted Rall is not smart enough to know he lacks the ability to know why others do not act like he does. Or maybe he is so brilliant that he has excess intellect in a world (and a profession) in which it is a waste, and it is this that makes him so nasty.
