Redefining words to make vague insults doesn't actually progress discussion, and indeed can be a symptom of the very problem we're discussing - I'm better than everyone else and so their thoughts don't matter.
Intellectual and emotional skill development are very well recognised as two different spectrums these days.
- colordrops 3y agoWho exactly am I insulting? Regarding redefining words, I assume you are referring to the ones in quotes. I am indeed criticizing a subset of people that take a very narrow and ill-defined measure of intellect and assume everyone fits on the same buckets and has the same sort of skills. It's a particular deficiency of the corpo-science class that incestuously defines their strengths as "intelligence". It's the sort of people that haven't matured beyond "book smart".
