Earning the Vote
RE: Earning the Vote
@Boru
1) But how do you deduce from voting results that intelligence doesn't matter? Do you filter out from all the votes cast all those made by high IQ people and see if they all tally or something?

2) Why would you think that? That seems ridiculous to me. Surely teaching people things like rhetorical devices, media literacy, economic basics, political processes, critical thinking, are things that protect against facism? I may as well interpret your desire to not educate children correctly as a fascistic desire to have an easily manipulate populous. Whatever card you think I'm palming is purely in your own mind.

4a) I would classify a good voter probably in the same way as you would: someone who votes with a sensible, educated, informed, empathic, intelligent, mature, mind with minimal manipulation. After all, you want an age criteria, yes?

4b) So why do you not allow 4 year olds to vote, if being immature doesn't matter?

5) You don't think I can show that on average a 30 year old will likely make less manipulated voting choices than a 3 year old? That's an odd position to take.
