Their numbers are growing. And I don't necessarily mean dull or illiterate people. I mean the sarcastic ones who think that they are naturally more intelligent than others based on something superficial like complexion, region or grammar without putting forth any effort towards education or self enlightenment. They use words like "stupid" and "duh!" on others to hide this flaw and to feel superior. They don't read about anything and typically are not interested in advancing their knowledge about other places, cultures or current events. Yet they enjoy loudly boasting about how much they know all about everything and are annoyed by people who actually do read research and explore what life might be all about. Intelligence involves abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, reasoning, learning, having emotional knowledge, retaining, planning, and problem solving. A high level of intelligence can lead to being smart. But just possessing lots of knowledge isn't enough. It is wisdom, through maturity that teaches one when is the best time to apply all that book-learnin' and life experience at the proper time. Otherwise you become just a walking bookcase.
