There is a probematic split, probably due to capitalism favoring stem education, between what we consider intelligent and wisdom. The latter is cultivated from engaging with “idle” topics such as philosophy, art, history and cultures, all that stuff that doesnt make any money and takes time spent not working.
So naturally these arent things the oligarchy engages with in any way that is conducive to the development of actual ethical beliefs, morals, or feelings of social responsibility. This is reinforced by the fact that those ethics would conflict with their entire existence and role in society, and self interest wins out.
Actual intelligent people by IQ or by education? Those are the ones working for the Billionaires, pushing shit ads to our eyeballs and enshittifying platforms for us.
Actual intelligent people by street smarts are pushing for democracy, better technology, better education, but their voices are being drowned out by the wave of hate caused by lack of adult education.
Would we though? Actual intelligent people tend to consider the greater good.
If they considered the greater good, they wouldn’t be billionaires, catch 22.

Actually wise people*, you can be intelligent and remain a selfish, sociopathic waste of skin.
Exactly.
“actual intelligence” doesn’t exist. There’s just educated people
Nonsense.

Education doesn’t mean intelligent. There’s plenty of educated idiots.
Completely agree. And that’s why the second part of my comment. Actually intelligent ppl are protesting the world over right now.
