They get what they want out of life.

LOL, no. That's not a sign of intelligence. I know babys that crying get all what they want. Also apply to people dumb as a potato but (with a protector, rich parents,...).

That’s considered optimizing. Dumb, unintelligent people don’t optimize. Babies crying to get what they want is like paying 10 cents on the dollar. What a bargain.

The harder someone works, the dumber they are. Why’s it take so much effort for one to get what they want? Learn to cry, whine, and make people do what you need for you.

What happens if everyone do that?

That’s the beauty of it, everyone won’t lol. You want to be smart, realize that and move on up.

Ah yes, the leeches in society are truly the smart ones!

How appalling

For some people, what they want is to be challenged. Here in my 6th decade, I’m teaching myself clojure.

Not because someone's making me or because it’s going to pay me a nickel more, but just because I love being mentally challenged*.
