minus-squaredogdeanafternoon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 hours agoTo be fair it reads like you heavily correlate being political, to intellectual. By that logic more political = more intelligent. I understand you didn’t mean it that way, but it’s not hard to see why someone would assume that.
minus-squareJyek@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 hours agoI feel like that’s a flawed understanding of what intelligence is. You can be smart regarding some things and braindead with others. Intelligence is not linear where all particular subject matter just comes with having high intellect.
minus-squaredogdeanafternoon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoI completely agree. That’s why I disagree with your initial suggestion that someone who “doesn’t do politics” probably “doesn’t have the mental aptitude for it”.
