Author Topic: I made an interesting observation today.  (Read 1863 times)

I love the arguments that people present called education != morality.

Knowing the costs and benefits of any negative action prevents negative action. Trying to gain power in a society of equals will lead to ruin, so you won't try it. Committing a crime in a society of equals leads to ruin, so you won't do it. Being unequally educated in this theoretical society is impossible, so you won't be it.

If they are smart they would just be able to create chaos easier, stupid people can't do that on purpose. Like Riddler, he was one smart mother forgeter.

what?

intelligence =/= order
I agree with your ideas
And disagree with your ideas

Smart people can still do things they know are wrong because they want to.

So basicly we've got
>anarchy
>no stealing or killing
>good education

Where would the funding for education come from?
Who would enforce the no stealing or killing laws?
Good education =/= good moral views (SEE: Riddler, Nero, etc)
What would stop someone from smuggling a gun and telling people to obey them?
Anarchy never works out in the long run

Try thinking a little more next time.

Smart people can still do things they know are wrong because they want to.
Not if everyone else is smart so they know they can't get away with it.

But if I kill everyone else quickly, than I would be equal to no one else because they don't exist

Plus with those bad actions, I can lower people below me.

If this was true, There would be no news, everything would be the same, without this, companies wouldn't be competitive and would't never create new stuff, everything would be dull as hell.

Intelligence doesn't judge your desire, weaknesses, or temptations to do something.

It may just a little, maybe it will vary, but largely for most people, this is the case ^
Well established moral pricipels, intellegence, and will power.

Y'all are saying that because Riddler was smart, he was able to get the army, and take on the war.

While this may be true, Riddler was convincing idiots to do the fighting.  If everyone was as brilliant, nobody would have listened to his half-ass plans of taking over the entire world.

You couldn't get to being a technologically advanced tribe without some form of government you nitwit.
Go skate off the side of a dam.

This is kind of a bad idea. I mean look at the Blockland forums at times. Some intelligent people start fighting and all hell breaks loose.
