@asa @mangeurdenuage That is a mindset that is completely detached from human psychology. Intelligent people don't believe they can rewrite human nature, they instead work around and within it.

A person who has a high IQ but believes they can impose their fringe beliefs upon human nature is not intelligent, they're basically a forever-in-university academic.

People aren't worker bees. They have wants and personal needs and reasonably put those above the personal wants and needs of others. Sometimes (often) it's possible to find common ground, but sometimes it simply isn't.
