Do you suppose that, as a culture, we put too much weight on intellect?

Asked by Nullo (22009points) January 29th, 2010

Politicians try to undermine their opponents by claiming intellectual superiority. People try to gain social leverage by accusing others of being stupid. A person and his opinions (whatever they might be), once deemed unintelligent, may safely be ignored, or ridiculed. And even suggesting that someone is more or less intelligent than somebody else is an insult.
