      My intelligence is within the average range and I’m fucking miserable. If I were smart I would at least have a shot at escaping wage slavery.

      Only if you fully identify with your intelligence. I used to and was miserable all the time. These days I see intelligence similar to body height. Helpful to reach some places more easily but not a hard requirement and only one out of many attributes that define me. At the end of the day you’re not your thoughts, you’re just the one listening to them.

    There’s a reason the more educated you are, the more likely you are to hold left wing views.

    You can’t learn how the world works and not want to take obvious steps to improve things

    …unless you’re a psychopath

    It’s best to be an idiot. Education only makes you miserable knowing this world is fucked and no amount of education defeats pure evil.
