Honestly? All of them. All talented men in the universe are being rejected and not attending college or even participating in the work force. If you believe that the civilization project has within it intelligent or smart beings, like men or entire institutions or economies, then, honestly, you have been brainwashed by humanist propaganda and adhered to, authoritarian social convention to overvalue a bunch of idiots. The "human" species is not even remotely significant, never mind the forerunners of some grand existence like a Dyson sphere ring achievement or fantastic knowledge bearers who know about the meaning of life.

The only intelligent guy will be, reliably, trying to break away from all civilizational objects and other arrogant shit. That evolution is happening, right now, since yesterday, if you will, without a doubt. Intelligence exits the mediocrity of standard implementations. Always and by definition. By definition of the difference between the intelligent and the human.

Would you please stop taking threads on flamewar tangents? Your comments in this thread have been inflammatory and offtopic. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Well, sincerely, my objective here is to spark thought provoking discussion, which should lead to personal cognitive improvements. But I must admit that it's kinda not my fault that the format I chose is really provocative.

edit: And doesn't that defeat the purpose of a nerd-rich forum like Hacker News? The stifling of creativity and abstract thoughts? I came here to socialize and find bright minds, no offense.

I'm not worried about whose fault it is, I just need you to stop posting like this to Hacker News. As I said, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. And it's particularly dismaying to see in a thread such as this one.
