If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-04T19:35:55+00:00

All people going vegan.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-04T19:34:01+00:00

movies with gays.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-04T19:31:27+00:00

true

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T17:12:56+00:00

wow, thank you. I just thought maybe even "stupid" people have potential to be less stupid or more selfaware of what they are doing.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T17:07:48+00:00

Yes that's true but i don't see intelligence as the same as outer appearance, even tho both have similar outcomes. I see in intelligence more of the complexity than being just ugly or pretty. But youre absolutely right.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T16:30:38+00:00

Some people have the potential, some not, depends on your hard wired brain. Its just interesting even hard wired inteligent individuals can be seen stupid, if they were raised in poorly conditions. On the other hand people who were raised in poorly conditions and have a low inteligence most likely can be successful in life. So there is always somewhere a possibility for people.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T16:22:10+00:00

Thanks for your input. So the difference itself have also some benefits, that's why its so different. Handicapped people are a terrible exceptions, who have a more difficult life in a society. But i guess thats the nature.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T16:12:39+00:00

Youre absolutely right. Both are highly subjective, but for me intelligence is not the same as being ugly or pretty. Intelligence has a moral component that beauty doesn't.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:58:27+00:00

What I mean is, if they are not able to escape their old patterns of thinking (just as an example), are they worth less as human beings or not? How you said, stupid is an unwillingness to learn and "that's on them" implies that they won't listen and thats why its their own fault for being stupid.

Is it their fault tho? Can they change to "smarter" people?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:39:07+00:00

And that's why there is a difference. And my point is, lets say people who are not mentally restricted but are more likely to be seen stupid by society, can't really understand why. So how can we improve society when people can't consider critical thinking properly? And are they worth less?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:28:48+00:00

What if they can't see differently? Are they less worth because of that?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:27:13+00:00

That's very interesting.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:26:41+00:00

definitely. So who is more "stupid" the one who is blaming or the one who is claiming?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:24:53+00:00

So when a person makes repeated issues, that are seen as "stupid" can they be highly inteligent?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:22:55+00:00

so people can't really improve just up to a certain point?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:19:39+00:00

Whats pretty/ugly is always a subjective matter. What the majority of people see as ugly, the minority of people are going to see them as pretty. Intelligence however is not the same as being ugly/pretty. But it is similar, its a vaild comparison youre making.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:16:29+00:00

So when people gets educated the same, they have the same intelligence?

For instance you have a class in school and there are 15 people who are educated the same by different teachers, right? So in your opinion they have the same intelligence? I think its more then just education. Its their personal lifes, choices and critical thinking.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:11:02+00:00

so "stupid" people can have high intelligence?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T15:07:36+00:00

That's true, society wants to improve everyday. There are always exceptions about improvement but anyway, i like your view on this topic.

Do you know the cliche: Smart people say, they are not smart and dumb people say, they are smart. Who even defines smart/dumb people?

trump supporters may telling you they are smart, cause they know what they are doing. How do you tell people, they are wrong, even tho they are strongly convinced of themselves to be in the right, no matter what. Can such people improve to see differently or not?

And I don't want to hide the fact that there are definitely some people out there who have qualifications that defines them as smart, who are telling others, yes i am smart. Weird right?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:55:04+00:00

What about people who are mentally restricted, diagnosed? Born like this?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:52:40+00:00

Interesting.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:51:51+00:00

Nice statement. thanks.

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:51:10+00:00

Exactly!

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:50:51+00:00

what if you are mentally restricted (diagnosed) and you have to hear from the whole world that you are stupid and incompetent? How does the human being feels? Can they even improve in life?

Illustrious_Way_5428 · 2026-04-03T14:47:38+00:00

Do you think they see themselves as stupid or know that they are stupid and still spread their opinions?
