      I wonder if, as the biological basis of intelligence becomes better understood, it will start to seem wrong to call people stupid.

      Right now, the most self-consciously virtuous people have no problem calling e.g. Trump dumb or stupid.

          But I can easily imagine our descendants 100 years from now wincing at our shocking unPCness in using such words.

          i think they call him stupid because he does asinine things.

          Not to stand up for Trump too much, but dumb is obviously what he’s not. It’s easy to dismiss "horizontal" difference as "vertical" though.

          Reason/civility are the long play, but right now, they're taking a fierce beating while opposition chooses hate-stirring speech over reason.

          This is incorrect. No advanced Buddhist monk would do that. They would call him unwise, maybe reckless or misguided but likely not stupid.

          Except, of course, Trump has an IQ in the upper 99+% in some areas. Brilliant politician.

          Trump actively chooses to be dumb. That's the difference.

          Some people have innate capacity for intellect but refrain from acting with prudence. Trump's judgment is poor.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/869082945172254720 …
