I grew up in a poor, working class, crime-ridden neighborhood of Brooklyn in the 1970s, and I remember being smart as a kid was a reason to harass, and sometimes beat on somebody who was seen as too smart in class. This wasn't happening in the wealthier, more educated neighborhoods in NYC (I had friends there afterwards). Although, all parents wanted their kids to exceed in both areas. I think there was also some ang…
The very intelligent traditional men are the ones under attack in America. The stupid are not directly under attack. The stupid are under attack indirectly, because the true leaders of society are under attack. The evidence of this can be seen in all of the crumbling cities in America. Even Noam Chomsky, a renowned liberal, admits that America is in a decline. Understanding the reason can start with understanding tha…
Uhm, STFU. Geniuses = good. Sexism = bad.
Class, note the level of civility here. It is also well known that traditional men and women are more civilized. The stats carry on for ages. "Sexist" areas of America even have lower crime rates.
Alternatively, American society values a human's worth by economic output and the economy has shifted to value humans who can successfully navigate the new more intelligence-based economy.
> the new more intelligence-based economy. Was intelligence not valued before?

Dear God, I never thought I'd read a comment as blatantly sexist as this on HN, but here we are. In one comment we have a theory which posits:
* America is in decline because "traditional men" are being attacked by a deliberate feminist takeover.
* "Genius men" (which arise through natural means) bestow the lesser gender with the ability to reason, and therefore any "genius women" are the direct result of their fathers.
* Said "Genius men" are actually being targeted in a systemic fashion, with the end goal of genocide.
I'm very sure you consider yourself among these elevated men who are under attack, in which case I can only hope your theory is true so the world is spared the presence of like-minded fools.

As philosophers like Jacob Needleman have said before, there is a line of knowledge and a line of being. If one progresses too further ahead from the other,it becomes useless and even harmful. We see examples everyday of people that are really smart but can't treat others like humans.
The canonical example is a great coder that is a total jackass. There is a dire need for empathy, now more than ever...

I expect to see this downvoted into oblivion, but you're not wrong. Men have a wider distribution of intelligence than women, so you end up with more male retards and more male geniuses. The bell curve is real.
