If everyone is intelligent enough they should realize compassion for each other is going to provide the best outcome longterm for everybody so you get both.
that's a good way to look at it.Kindness and compassion. There's plenty of smart people, a lot of whom would get to realize their potential in a kinder world.
Interesting point. I think you're probably right about intelligence and empathy; it seems by and large the most hateful, mean spirited, and bigoted people are generally of lower intelligence and have a much harder time understanding things outside of themselves. That being said I have known enough kind people that were not that bright, and absolute shitheads that were fairly intelligent. I would be very curious how it actually breaks down.I think that, generally speaking, you can’t have kindness and compassion without empathy. And you can’t have empathy without intelligence.
All of the dumbest people I have ever known had zero empathy for others.
Intelligence is overrated. And most people poorly rate their own level. My vote goes to kindness and compassion.I'm leaning towards a kinder and more compassionate world.
How about you guys?
