Agreed.

I came across that one a week or so ago. Well worth reading and understanding.

Interesting read. Most of the article wrongly calls ignorance stupidity. The difference is ignorance is highly treatable, while intelligence or lack of it (stupidity) is highly heritable.

I could not fail to disagree with you less.

I disagree with only one small aspect: posting a blind link with a click-bait title usually repels many potential readers.
If the essay is good, why make a disservice to it by dressing it (ostensibly) like how almost every spam message looks like?

Indeed. Well worth the time for perspiring minds.

I'm not sure if this was written by an English Major who enjoys Physics. Or the other way around. But a body of language worth parsing and then modeling.

Since stating the latter is often ignorantly seen as vaguely racist or at least elitist, there's a tendency to disregard the existence of stupidity.
