I personally believe there is no way for them to succeed. If they were acting in good faith the actual incease in the number of intelligent people, who would recognize cruelty when they see it, would tear it down. If they acted in bad faith, which they most definitely would, they would fill the world with these idiots.

    But you’re the one that said they aren’t untethered. They didn’t mention anything about that…

    Could you please share the quote where there was a contradiction? I’d be interested to see where they said that intelligence and morality are linked

        Sorry, I meant examples where they said that the two are linked. The example you gave was the opposite.

        Apologies if I phrased it poorly.

            You claimed that they claim intelligence and morality were tethered somehow. I was wondering where that was said. I didn’t see that anywhere in the original message so I think I either misunderstood something or missed a different message.

            I was wondering if you could show them saying that intelligence and morality were related to each other.

            This isn’t an argument being made, I’m just curious where it was said as I can’t find it.

              I did not. Where?
