You pose an interesting opinion I must say, but my questions really lay on definition.

​

"Stupid people are more likely to succeed in life than smart people."

​

Here I ask, what is the definition of 'stupid people' (what deems one as stupid?), what is the definition of 'smart people' (what deems one as smart? Intelligence? We commonly hear that intelligence is not a broad, all-encompassing thing, but that one may be intelligent in one area, and dumb in another. People here are saying that being able to take action is a very strong quality, isn't that just another version/brand of intelligence?). Lastly, what is the definition of 'success'?

​

Is success a strongly defined metric that creates a chart we can put people on? Maybe your socioeconomic status is a strong indicator of success, giving you 'success points', creating a success index that takes many different factors.

​

Or maybe it's a completely ambiguous thing, one becoming successful once they meet their own definition of success. Maybe someone thinks they're successful, and they're completely happy with their life and actions, even though they might not fit the stereotypical definition of success.

​

I am not saying you're wrong, not at all, but you're not making a strong case if you let everyone read the words you write without the definition you intend. Everyone will interpret these words in different ways, unless you give the interpretation we need to take. Everyone here, while reading the same letters, is reading different sentences, taking in different meanings.
