"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." -Anais Nin.

Abraham Maslow suggested that only two percent of the people in the world achieve self actualization.

"(Chuck Klosterman) suggests that the internet is fundamentally altering the way we intellectually interact with the past because it merges the past and present into one collective intelligence, and that it's amplifying our confidence in our beliefs by (a) making it seem like we've always believed what we believe and (b) giving us an endless supply of evidence in support of whatever we believe. Chuck Klosterman suggests that since we can always find information to prove our points, we lack the humility necessary to prudently assess the world around us. And with technological advances increasing the rate of change, the future will arrive much faster, making the questions he poses more relevant." -Will Sullivan on Chuck Klosterman

Intelligence does not equate to moral superiority. If another person is ill-informed and happy, the goal of all should be to allow them their happiness, whether or not that intrudes on your self-serving definition of intelligence.
