Sedition

Everyone likes to think they are smarter than the people in charge. I think that is pretty common for all of us. We like to think that if we were to quit our job, the company would go out of business. We think that if we spin a believable yarn, we can get out of a speeding ticket. We think we are so smart.

Just because people are in charge, doesn't mean they are so distracted that they don't know what you are doing. They don't let you know because they are probably waiting for your weasley ass to fuck up so they can fire you. The police see you speed all the time, but figure that it's not worth pulling you over for only going about 5 over the limit.

The truly smart among us excel to positions of power, or are actively undermining us without us even noticing. Smart people don't sit around and stew about how shitty things are. Smart people get things done.

I think that's why we are afraid of smart people. They will obviously succeed more than the regular joes.
