I don't agree. For one thing, people now seem to be DUMBER than in the past. Second, most of those who are "enlightened" are not all that smart. Also, there is functional intelligence without high IQ; many people in the 120s can do almost any task but lack the creativity, nobility of character, etc. of some of the higher IQ ones.
Finally, some people are just broken and need to be shot in the face. I'm thinking pedophiles here.
