This video dives into the idea that true intelligence goes beyond academic achievements or career success—it's deeply connected to kindness. I argue that people who are unkind, no matter how smart they appear, are ultimately foolish because they miss one of the most crucial part of being human: being kind. Those who lack kindness are the "dumbest of the dumb," regardless of their intellectual accomplishments, because they fail to understand that one of the most important things of being a human is simply being kind.

The best human is a human who can complete his natural functions the best. What are those functions? Well two main ones are the social and the rational function, but in this case let’s only stick to the social one. Social function means that we are social animals and live in a society, naturally we want to live in a society well. What does this mean? Kindness, justice and courage. If he is kind he will be seen as good and if he is just and courageous, he will stand up against injustice, which is good for him and the whole of the group.

Now let me ask you another question. Does a mother suffer pain if she’s a bad mother, does a firefighter suffer pain if he fails to save a little girl from a house fire? Of course they do. Because they understand they are falling short of their function. How can we then not feel pain when we fail to fulfill our function of being a kind, just and courageous human being? Of course, we feel pain. And I bet you remember the last time you felt guilty for shouting, insulting or maybe not helping someone when you had the chance.
What about these so-called smart narcissists? Do they feel pain when they look down on others, insult them, ignore them and so on? They sure don’t look like it. What does that say to us? If we feel pain when we fall short of the ideal of fulfilling our natural function, then doesn’t this mean that they regard the ideal to be something else? And how can they be thought of as intelligent, geniuses of our time if they fail to understand this most important truth? Does anything else truly matter if you fail to understand what is truly the ultimate good? That being fulfilling your natural function and hence being a good human? Is anything more important to a mother than being a good mother when it comes to her role as a mother? No there isn’t. In a like matter the most important thing for a person is to be good and just. Therefore, those who don’t realize this and are unkind are the dumbest of the dumb and it doesn’t matter whether they are a PHD, a doctor, a successful businessman, because they are dumb in one way that truly matters.
