Summary

This quote, often attributed to late American author John Stuart Mill, suggests that while intelligence varies among individuals belonging to any political group, there seems to be a higher proportion of unintelligent individuals within conservatism. It implies that being conservative does not inherently make a person stupid, but rather that conservatism tends to attract a larger number of people with lower intelligence. It should be noted that this quote may be controversial and prone to generating debate, as intelligence is complex and cannot be solely determined by political affiliation.

Sometimes I have a notion that what might improve the situation is to have women take over the occupations of government and trade and to give men their freedom. Let them do what they are best at. While we scrawl interoffice memos and direct national or extranational affairs, men could spend all their time inventing wheels, peering at stars, composing poems, carving statues, exploring continents -- discovering, reforming, or crying out in a sacramental wilderness. Efficiency would probably increase, and no one would have to worry so much about the Gaza Strip or an election.
