Why is it that the opinion of one smart person, when organizing the critical needs-based infrastructure of society, is considered to be less valuable than the opinions of many stupid people.

The elections do not decide neither what are the problems nor solutions, all it does is to shuffle around who represents whose vote while no actual issues are being addressed.

That is why we need the ranking system of voting, aka the Condorcet method, thus the smart people, and other minorities for that matter, would have a slight chance of representation in the political discourse currently dominated by the predominantly intellectually unburdened masses.

As human -- the homo sapiens (Latin: 'wise man') -- we all are equal in our drive to prioritize the basic needs first before satisfying desires of less urgent nature.

Common needs first and thus are the political and government systems of management are formed (the Communism).

Then different wants come into play and thus are the economic and business systems of management are formed (the Capitalism).

Obviously one has to spend time and energy to get time and energy. work, labour, is the use of energy, either for the reasons of needs or wants or both.

As a Russian proverb goes, without doing the work, one can't get fish out of the pond. Thus work done now is also building up the potential energy that forms the probability of possible futures.

To Summarize: The needs first, then, after the critical needs are dealt with, there are wants, aka desires.

Besides the individuals with their personal needs and wants, there are also many groups with their needs and wants.

Also the resources are either limited, renewable, or unlimited, personal or shared, an important consideration.

The individual makes free choice how to use the available resources, including time, skill, and energy, to address the needs and satisfy desires for themselves and the groups they are part of.

Nice and simple, in theory.

The universe is a playground, and the earth is where we learn how to share it.
