Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.

In summary, Intelligence Intensification is desirable, because there is not a single problem confronting humanity that is not either caused or considerably worsened by the prevailing stupidity (insensitivity) of the species: badly wired robots bumping into and maiming and killing each other.

The individual act of obedience is the cornerstone not only of the strength of authoritarian society but also of its weakness.

Obviously, the faster we process information, the more rich and complex our models or glosses - our reality-tunnels - will become.

There are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven't noticed already.

Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!

Reality is what you can get away with.
