      IQ is a bad measure of intelligence or decency of a human being. Academic advantage doesn’t automatically make you smart, or nice to be around for that matter.

        Back then, if someone produced stupid ideas like they pop up today by the millions a day in X and Facebook, you got properly booed, and people learned to avoid this one source of trouble.
