As a smart person, I have to suffer because stupid people exist.
Stupid people are society's negative, since they only make lives worse and they make society worse as well.
The only possible purpose a stupid person can have is to fight in wars started by some other stupid persons.
So to put it simply, stupid person has no actual purpose.
In ancient history, smart people were mostly eradicated by stupid people, and as a consequence of that we today have society consisted of mostly idiots.
The ideal governing system is where government consisted of smart people rules while respecting rights of others.
Smart people make less than 1% of the population, and since we live in a democracy, its always the majority consisted of idiots which gets to decide country's foreign policy, country's economy and country's laws.
The majority of people cant even think in form of premises or proof, they cant even fix their own life, they havent achieved anything significant in life, yet they think they can run a country.
Which brings us to the topic.
As you all have noticed, things in the world are not getting better.
Despite all the advance in useful technology made by smart people, the life isnt getting better, and we could say that life is somehow getting even worse.
The world is pretty much split between countries ruled by smart bloodthirsty dictators and countries ruled by brainless bloodthirsty majority.
Neither is a good form of government, so naturally, things have been getting worse over time both in terms of economy, environment, and political stability.
We are few steps away from nuclear war, there are many small wars, there is a major war in Ukraine which neither side can win yet neither side can back down either.
In terms of economy, the governments which have grown in size caused poverty of their citizens, since logically, you cannot really increase government without taking away money from people.
However, most people vote to have more money taken from them because most people are idiots.
Most of the government programs cost more money than they give in return, which is why we dont really see a rise in standard of living with growth of government, but rather we see that the more the government grows, the people become poorer. Either they have less, either they have to work more for same, or in much worse case, they have to work more for less.
This is not some accident or anything.
Stupid people follow a cycle of wealth and poverty.
When stupid people are wealthy, they become wasteful, and as a result, they sink in poverty due to wasting money everywhere.
Government follows something very similar.
Since government has money easily available to it, it has no need to save money since it gets nothing from saving. Thus, it becomes wasteful, throwing more money at projects which dont pay off, and as a result, people become poorer.
All countries where people are rich and stupid must sink in poverty after some time, as stupid people waste money and resources on useless but expensive projects, and so do their governments.
The amount of useless projects piles up over time, leading country in poverty.
Thus, the mere existence of stupid people acts as a counter to smart people.
Because of stupid people, we have wars and economic decline, and bunch of bad decisions being made in a system where smart people dont decide anything.
Throughout history, being stupid and strong was an overwhelming advantage, since it meant you can beat a smart person and take everything he has.
So as a result, the ones which reproduced were stupid and strong at the very start of humanity when spears and muscles decided everything, and smart weak people had no way to beat stupid strong people.
