I think we need to knock it off with this status business, as a species, recognize that we all have rights regardless of intellectual abilities, and quit acting paranoid and grappling for control with one another.
(nods) Sure, sounds great. Two questions:
Do you agree any more or less with that phrase if I remove the clause “regardless of intellectual abilities”? (Followup: if you don’t, what is that clause doing there?)
Do you have any strategies in mind for achieving that state?
I think the oppression of gifted people should recognized.
I recognize that gifted people are sometimes subjected to actions taken against their interests, which we can describe as “oppression” if we want to, though that word has other connotations in other contexts I don’t think apply to the condition of gifted people.
That said, I don’t care very much. Do you think I ought to care more? If so, why?
