Its alcan be of all 3. But in present day it's mostly #3
It's within their competence in the sense that if society nudged them enough they could.
It is "abusive" if you use the term in a leftist way because it does cause women temporary dissatisfaction.
It's also a hilarious form of torture if you cannot provide negative reinforcement on a macro level.
The 1st half of what you said makes sense though I disagre. If you give men correct info most can make good decisions
The other half makes no sense.
Ok j see what you're eating at now.
They don'tvote for free stuff because they're bad at math, they do it because they want free stuff
If they were decent at math you could persuade them of the cost of free stuff with whatever economic model using numbers
If they do not understand basic math they can not comprehend the cost of free stuff no matter what you tell them & should not be allowed to vote
Someone for example can not understand if you make twice as many items per hour it takes half the time to make the same number of items if they do not know basic math
I have talked to people that ignorant
I agree with your premise that most people are dumb, but that's not our biggest issue.
People don't vote for free stuff and oppress the productive due to incompetence, it's a combo of envy, entitlement and self interested resentment.
Ex. To avoid the bad you didn't need to be smart, you just needed a 💳 and courage.
Also Noam Chomsky is a GENIUS. That didn't stop him from becoming a leftist.
1
There are some people who would not vote for free stuff if they knew math but vote for free stuff because they do not know math
2
Then there are people that should know better but do it anyway
A mandatory math requirement for voting would solve the problem of group 1 but not group 2
I agree but I already agree with you on group 1.
My point is that most people are group 2.
They want/ are entitled to free stuff.
The issue is not it intellect it's of maturity.
That's why most shouldn't vote
@basedbagel @redmaple
They are letting people vote who can not understand what a balanced budget is because they do not know math so they will always vote for free stuff that is not really free
