Like the dead don't realize they're dead, they don't realize they're stupid. They're just everyone else's problem.

We've built a society with full guard rails. There's very little a stupid person can do to remove themselves from the gene pool before they procreate. Being stupid seems to actually increase the odds that they'll procreate early, and often.

I'm in agreement that we might have a few too many guardrails, but stupid people tend to exist in groups, and cooperation is the best path to survival.
