I hate how a lot of people in my country just does not engage with art ever. Its why they sound so stupid and insipid. Never practicing any critical thought and just swallowing whatever is given to them. Idk who divorced empathy from intelligence. You very much need intelligence to have empathy.

They are against genocide because someone said so. Never actually embodying the principles that stands against genocide. Never questioning anything. Only working on base desires and capitalistic product profit. Domesticated cattle to their "hated" colonizers.

Women get mistreated and secretly raped but we get fucking religious communities making excuses. Religion is married to state and nobody fucking questions why billions of cash is stuck because shitty religious inheritance laws. They can't gauge hypocrisy because they can't think.

We are so desperate to chase some kind of reputation in the world, we're willing to allow artists to die for shitty tech. Then, the government wonders why our cultural export sucks. People can't make decisions; they're fucking chewing permission from chatgpt. They can't be human.

They keep fucking complaining that every artistic work have repeating themes and never innovate. Youre fucking stupid. Themes repeat because they never get fixed. Art Is born from the reflection of pain you've allows to persist. You excuse your sloth with logic you derived from insecurity.

Idk about that last sentence, I’ve seen plenty “intelligent” people with zero empathy and plenty “unintelligent” people with more empathy than is good for them 🤷‍♂️

This is a dumb stereotype capitalist culture zeitgeists likes to push. Someone who can and try to understand others are intelligent. People who are "intelligent" without empathy are operatives who refuse to emotionally participate in the world.

The auntie I worked with takes five minutes to pay the cashier at the grocery store, but she’s one of the most emotionally connected person I know. Same for the elderly couple a couple blocks down, they aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed but I’d run into a burning building for them.

You narrowed intelligence as a term to where her ability to figure you out emotionally isn't measured. Empathy demands you have intelligence esp equanimity. Just because she fails at one task, it does not damn her to be stupid.

That’s… that’s not how empathy works man. It has zero to do with intelligence and I’ll thank whatever deity or whatnot you want for that. It has something to do with emotional quotient, yes, but that’s not something I’d describe as being intelligent. It has no correlation. Zilch.

The only advantage ‘intelligent’ people have, is if they aren’t naturally very empathic, that they can to an extent learn it or at the very least learn to logic their way through it all.
