Why the Future of Our Country is The Intelligent People

[Anonymous]

I came to this realization a couple years ago and I'm seeing it happen in the real world.

My first realization of this was in one of my college classes, which was split with the "cool" kids on the right half and the "AP" or nerd type kids on the left side of the room. The right half was just texting and making jokes all class while the left side was actively paying attention and giving vivid responses to the discussions.

I realized this then and it got reaffirmed in later classes when most of the people giving intelligent responses looked like "AP" kids. Their face, hair, personality, and clothes were essentially what you'd find in advanced placement kids.

The people who go out of their way to better their knowledge are likely going to be the same people who actively try to improve themselves in their careers. They are going to be the ones who revolutionize their field when the progress through their careers. Its usually people like that who are at the top of their industry.

The huge rise in advancements in Medicine, Fitness, Science, and Technology are going to be caused by smart and curious minded people.

I see it and hear about it when people start working in their respective fields. The intelligent ones were the ones getting awards in fields or making over 100,000 a year within 3 years of working and even entry level. The pay and years of experience will vary widely by the career of course. It would still be an great achievement in their field.

It has always been true that the proactive, dedicated, hard-working, and intelligent people run the world. That's the way it should be.

One big problem- When the number of these people dwindle, the number of slugs and slobs and leeches rise, and the tiny minority somehow has to do everything, including care for the overwhelming majority, who have simply ceased to function.

Then... nobody wants to know what happens.

[dudeman]

its already happened.

[Cccgala]

They are the future of every country, I believe.

"The huge rise in advancements in Medicine, Fitness, Science, and Technology are going to be caused by smart and curious minded people." I agree!

There would also be advancements in Philosophy, Humanities, and Law that are going to be caused by intelligent people.

Yes, the future. From Space Exploration and Hopefully Space Colonization to Trans-humanism. Upgrade. Enhance. Evolve. Transcend. And Artificial Intelligence R&D to the "Singularity" becoming a reality. I'm counting on and hoping that the best and the brightest people on this planet will become the ones to successfully accomplish this for the Greater Good, for a much better future.👍

[dudeman]

dude not sure how old you are but the stupid people have taken over the earth with pc culture and affirmative action and massive inflated HR department. smart people should run things but thats not how it goes anymore.

Everybody has a potential talent that could benefit our countries. Once we can do it constructively without impinging on each other, I don't mind how we do it.

Plato would agree. He divided people in gold, silver and bronze. He rejected democracy, insisting political power should held by the intellectual elites. It's hard for use to believe this because we are taught (brainwashed?) that all people are equal and should have equal rights. Some people actually think it's a fact that all people should have equal rights. It's not a fact. It's a belief that has become people recently in human history.

[zagor]

Yeah, the trouble is everyone thinks THEY are the intellectual elites. Pol Pot was quite an educated fellow...

[dudeman]

@zagor yeah but there can be a test to find out the intellectual elites.

[zagor]

@dudeman And who writes the test?

As the saying goes, it's not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes.

[dudeman]

@zagor the test are logic test.

[zagor]

@dudeman Cool, then I guess I should be among those running things...

In my school, the cool kids are AP. I'm pretty sure most students take some AP courses.

[myTake Owner]

Thats not how it is in most schools. Most of the time the "popular" kids aren't in AP classes.

[myTake Owner]

Most students dont take AP courses unless your in some sort of private school full of scholars.

And the point wasn't that their AP students, its anyone intelligent and has the drive to learn more and better themselves. Which most of the time is a stereotypical nerd

[reixun]

Nahhh, I go to a pretty good school. Most of the students were in AP world or euro and now most are doing AP psych for their history credit. Intelligent people in my school are usually also athletes and have large social groups.

[myTake Owner]

Trust me, your school is the exception. Most of the athletic and social people I've met werent intellectuals. In college its the same thing, most athletes and grown up cool people get mostly C's or fail, they kind of do their work late and study for tests at the last minute, etc. Or they do study a lot but still get C's. Or they dont pay attention in class. Or its looked at as bad thing being an overachiever to them.

Now if you go to a college like Stanford or UCLA or something then it would probly be different. Or a college where athletes were pushed to excel at academics.

Most of the time the cool kids weren't school people. 30% are smart in an average school though.

It sounds like your

[myTake Owner]

School is like schools in my area that can recruit kids. Do they? Or is it just a really good school or area?

[reixun]

It's a really good suburb, with good teachers. One of the best in the state.

[Anonymous]

I am an all AP student. I am sorry you feel that way about us. 😞

[myTake Owner]

Its the truth. Its okay though, no need to be sorry

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I agree it is wrong. Every student deserves to learn. The teachers, I noticed only focus on us, and not the only students. Which is wrong. Some of us abuse that. I don't, but they are act to fake for the other students.

[myTake Owner]

Thats exactly what my professor did in that class I was talking about in my take with the class split with a more school focused half and more social less serious half.

In the beginning of the semestet he would walk around the whole class talking to us then after about a month he only walked around the "AP like" kids half and talked. He tried to avoid answering our questions when we raised our hands or tried give input in the discussion.

when teachers ignore other students it makes them not care and not even give an effort

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, I hate that.
I was called a rich snob once, and I think being an AP student had to do with it. Even though it is not true. What the teachers do effects some of us. Makes me feel bad sometimes, but what can we do, but sit back, and watch. I honestly wish it wasn't like that. Your myTake it is right. Every single word.

[zagor]

Yeah, but the other ones will be the ones who reproduce.

[corbynHALTZ]

do you say this to soothe yourself?

[myTake Owner]

No, im not one of them. Im not exactly a cool kid either, but im usually accepted by them nowadays. I have talents in areas thats going to can make me money, but im not an intellectual like the people I described in the myTake.

They have the everything in the package, im half of the package. The have everything else. So no, I don't say this to soothe myself

[corbynHALTZ]

i believe you do, possibly out of envy, who knows?

[myTake Owner]

If im jealous of them why would i say this fo soothe myself?

[myTake Owner]

[corbynHALTZ]

your tone is of envy.
