The level of intelligence has nothing to do with those things!
They are all a part of the genetic flaw in human beings!
Have fun but be safe!

Intelligence is NOT a cure for the destructive side of human nature. Understanding, compassion, empathy and humility are some of the qualities that are.
Almost all of our political leaders have higher educations and many of them are just as corrupt, violent and hate filled as anyone you care to compare them to.
It is selfishness without regard for the welfare of others that causes the things you listed and neither education nor intelligence prevent it.

Everyone with a Masters isn't that intelligent and every criminal isn't that stupid. My brother in law is in prison for 25 years and his IQ is about 160- so to answer your question, crime has nothing to do with how smart you are and everything to do with your circumstances.

Yes. Some of the worst corruption comes from smart people. Not to mention, the actual quality of graduate degree continues to plummet to meaninglessness.

Your theory is flawed. People of a lower intellect commit crime out of desperation. People of a higher intellect commit crime out of greed.
Nothing would change.

i think that crime levels would be drastically reduced but wars wouldnt. the arabs are smart, they are fighting because of religion and no matter how smart they are they will always hate Israel.

Yes. It would just be of a different kind. I have no doubt, however, that the world would be a better place.

white collar crime exists already, you think only poor, dumb people are criminals?
