Thick and Fast - Intellectual discrimination





Thick and Fast is the title of my new novel, published today. It deals with one of the last and least attended inequalities that still plague mankind - intellectual discrimination.
I am not talking about those who clearly require psychiatric or medical aid; they are generally well cared for. What I try to address here is the inherent snobbery of intelligence in society as a whole. How the menial, underpaid tasks fall on those with a low I.Q. How they are duped and used, humiliated and abused, simply because they are unable to understand the mechanisms necessary for their emancipation.
It is amazing just how many synonyms there are for the word 'fool'. It is also interesting to ponder on the meaning of the word 'intelligent' in its different contexts.
But perhaps the most important thing to bear in mind is this: nobody considers themself a fool.
