Is it normal to think most people are backwards...?

So I've been noticing lately that everyone seems to be kind of i don't know... not so smart? It seems like people just don't really think for themselves and just flock towards things and then move on to the next thing and to the next. There seems to be very few people in the world that actually have the ability to think for themselves and have common sense. Or they're just uncivilized. There seems to be few people that are actually wise/smart/whatever (me being one) it normal to think like that you have a higher understanding of the world than everyone else?

    An intelligent man thinks he knows, but a wise man knows he thinks.

    Agreed, DannyKanes. An intelligent man, with wisdom, should lead others with his knowledge. If you cannot communicate with them, then you are not smart enough to convey things to their understanding. Like Einstein said, you do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.

    You are normal, but arrogant.

    Tsk Tsk Tsk if you are so smart/wise/brilliant then you would know it's not your place to judge other people nor be so arrogant but you should help those less fortunate than genius/scholar/yourstruly

    First of all, you don't know what other think so they might act to be dumb, which can be a smart thing to do in some situations. Secondly, yes, you would be amazed how stupid people can actually be. Especially if somebody with a very low IQ is also raised by people with low IQ. It's a funny phenomenon that much more than half of people think that they're more intelligent than average.

    i love the immediate assumption of arrogance. fellow poster, i'd debate them, but the truth does not need to be debated. because of the way we are taught, you cannot find answers dealing with your apparent wisdom. understand this, however, that although your in persuit of reassurance, you avoid hinting to that. do not avoid this; altered questions bring forth altered answers. you are welcome to ask me anything, i assure you i intend on answering.

    one more thing, remember this- maximum effect from minimum cause is an expression representing a beautiful simplicity.

      sqwid, i can't decide whether you're very wise, or just very, very stupid. regardless, the point i was trying to make is that i feel like most people, or at least a good majority of 'em, just blindly follow the crowd and don't question things or make connections or whatnot. they would much rather watch reality tv and doing things along the lines of such. i'm not trying to lower them, or say i'm better for being able to question. to put it simply i feel like the percentage of followers in this world greatly outnumbers the true leaders. which may or may not be an obvious fact.
