I can't tell if Hanania is trolling or if this is a testing the waters way of coming out. As far as I can tell he is not openly gay but he is obsessed with his own apparent intellect. Prediction: Hanania comes out of the closet before August.

Great post. After a while of pleasant internet meandering on the topic I found this article:

Medical Hypotheses: Clever Sillies - Why the high IQ lack common sense

http://medicalhypotheses.blogspot.com/2009/11/clever-sillies-why-high-iq-lack-common.html

There are some real gems in it, including:

'The results of cognitive stratification and IQ-advertising are therefore bad enough to have destroyed the value of whole domains of the arts and academia, and in the domain of public policy the results have been simply disastrous. Over the past four decades the dishonest fantasy-world discourse of non-biological political correctness has evolved to dominate the intellectual arena of whole nations – perhaps the whole developed world – such that wrong and ridiculous ideas have become not just mainstream, but compulsory.'

There are some great articles elsewhere on the site too... Edward Dutton has done a paper disputing the Savannah hypothesis but I can't find a publicly accessible copy unfortunately.

Darwin would say that stupidity is not being resourceful enough to perpetuate your genes. Being gay is the epitome of stupidity. Gay is sad☠️
