If you are dumb it’s not your fault. You didn’t, know better. If you are ignorant you can learn.
This works because you consider intelligence as something congenital, but I am of a different opinion.
It is just an opinion, I am not a sociology scholar, but at least maybe we can agree than if I turn out «intelligent» it’s thanks to the resources and attention that I have received as a child.
Take it as a joke, but let’s say: I am intelligent because my mother always read me novels in bed before sleep, and found pride in doing maths by thought. What about who didn’t receive this privilege?
I don’t intend by this to nullify the individual agency. But maybe you should be open to teach if you want others to learn. Because it would have only taken the lack of that little pushes in the right direction, and I would also be «on the other side».
