    Being unintelligent, you probably wouldn't even realize you are the dumbest person the planet. So you would just have fun and not think about it. Being the only intelligent person would piss you the hell off every single day.

      Well I think you'd be aware of your stupidity because everyone would point it out everyday.

      @Ethan it says in the description under the voting no one would tell you. It'd basically be ignorant bliss for stupidity, and just aggravation for the intelligent.

      yeah, if you're the only dumb person people would probably accept you for it anyways and i would kill myself if i couldnt have an intelligent conversation with another human being + if your the only genius they might not believe in the things you say and just think youre full of shit

      I can tell you from first hand experience, that the blue option is a curse that makes you hate/resent humanity. Therefore I choose the red option. People who are voting for the blue option have no idea how bad it is.

      They're not selfish... They're volunteering to live in a world with only unintelligent people. Just imagine what that world would be like, and the frustration they are going to feel every waking hour until they are burned at the stake for witchcraft or some other form of heresy.

    If you where the only smart person. Then no one could invent anything. Nobody could be smart enough (not you, but you cant do this all alone) to build houses, harvest food or be a medic.

    Step 1: Be unintelligent, and everyone is smarter than you. Step 2: Become intelligent and watch the world around you become extremely smart since they cannot cross your intelligence level so they have to be smarter than you. Step 3: Enjoy living in a perfect world!

    I chose to be unintelligent. Imagine how the world would be like if you are the only intelligent person? No iOS devices, no cars, no development. I sure wouldn't like to live in a primitive world.

    I think that people who chose blue just have huge egos, "look at me, I am smarter than everyone in the world". And plus, a world of dumb people? Everyone would be sent back to the dark ages. And that one intelligent person would be hailed as a god. OR be stupid in exchange for a wonderful world? The latter would be the obvious choice.

    Being unintelligent in a world of geniuses, I wouldn't need to worry about the world becoming a total hellhole. If governments were run by geniuses, rather than greedy, moronic politicians, the world would be a much better place.
