*Aristotle intensifies*

leave it for the sociopaths

lol

Ostensibly, that's exactly why we are here.

Aristotle openly states most philosophers would make awful rulers

I know

Only the competent few philosophers would, and that is the exception

I don't like the idea of uneducated rulers tho

Or uneducated people in general

i'd argue our current rulers are uneducated

They are

Not all

Some are...

missed that all important "un"

Others... are not.

lol i didn't see that either\

i forgot it

had to edit

Why can't we have a mandatory basic science test before applying for office

omg that explains the magic

Eh?

There was this episdode of sliders. Where old people were removed from society.
Basically, the youth were in charge. Only people 35 and under iirc.
There is some merit in that idea

Merkel is a bitch who's sticking her hand where it doesn't belong, Macron is bent over and taking it roughly, and May is just a rusty cunt.

should there be an iq test for ruling? or breeding?

not iq

that's a slippery slop

why not

Iq is the speed of learning

Not like knowledge

is it?

doesnt it also equate to a depth of understanding?

Nope

i disagree

You just go deeper faster

70 iq can come to the same conclusion as 140 iq?

hey oh

with a bunch more time yes

time is limited

But muh discrimination

but i still disagree

it also has to do with the complexity of the problem
