Unintelligent people always look for a scapegoat.

Unintelligent people always look for a scapegoat.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who lack intelligence or critical thinking skills tend to blame others or find someone to hold responsible for their own shortcomings or failures. Instead of taking accountability for their actions or seeking constructive solutions, they look for a scapegoat - someone to put the blame on. This behavior can indicate a failure to introspect or understand complex situations, as intelligent individuals would be more likely to analyze and address the root causes of problems rather than resorting to assigning blame.
