Smart assholes are a problem in today’s society. It seems like stupidity has no borders, and even people that are perfectly capable of performing in some fields (literature, brain surgery, etc) are completely hopeless in others (being a member of society). Bill Maher does a bit on this. I’m fascinated by this. In my own experience, I’ve had brilliant discussions with people, making valid points, until we get to gun rights, or abortion, or immigration - and they unleash the crazy.
