- Tainnor 2y agoTrue, "stupid" is a very imprecise term. But my main point was merely that epistemically, there is no validity to something just because a majority is behind it.
- bogle 2y agoPerhaps you could use the word "idiot" and refer to them as "idiots". The term has been used in a medico-legal context in the past to define a person's mental age. That there is a divide between the two parties and the average intellectual ability of their supporters is a well-known fact. I'd contest that this is less of an issue than their racism.
- econ40432 2y agoEngineering students are actually more conservative than a group like communications majors. Are communications majors smarter?
- bogle 2y agoI was moving the point away from a measure of smartness to one of racism. I do hope you haven't just damned all the other engineers on HN!
- DeathArrow 2y agoSo you really think more than half of the Americans are mentally impaired? The probability of being mentally impaired is higher for a random poster like you than for half of American people.
- bogle 2y agoYour understanding of statistics is deplorable. Also, your reading ability. I specifically said it's racism, rather than the (verifiable) lack of intelligence.
