Thought 567: Why the Wicked Win


While the refined-intelligent are busy disagreeing with
each other (and themselves) on rarefied points, the
coarse-stupid are unified in tropes and hatreds, 
such that the wicked who manipulate them 
come to power.


In addition, 
as a wisdom-lover
you need only open your mouth
to be ignored, disagreed with, 
and ridiculed,


whereas, as a power-monger,
you need only open your mouth
to be heeded, agreed with, 
and admired.
