I would like to segregate the morons from the non-morons.

Problem is that most non-morons don't have time for conspiracy theories, so they'll still be fairly ignorant. Also, the morons vastly outnumber the non-morons.

Average IQ is only 98 (IQ's a better measure for stupidity, but less accurate for distinguishing intelligence). You need an IQ of at least over 120 to be a non-moron.

Actually I do have a plan to segregate at least some non-morons from morons here. This site isn't complete but I will finish it soon.

There are a lot of ways to separate morons from non morons. If that is all you are doing then you are reinventing the wheel. Why not simply join one of the other separatist movements?

I was going to say "select for engineering degrees" and things like that. Then I realized that affirmative action has made that non viable by handing out degrees and high end jobs to unqualified people.

Then I was going to suggest filtering by some action they make or by how well they handle a situation, but then I realized those are all just less accurate IQ tests.

So I don't know. I guess using a proxy for IQ is less offensive and has less baggage associated with it, but obviously has drawbacks.

Like which ones?

Gated communities. Science and engineering clubs. Yacht clubs. High rise living. Skyscrapers are essentially exclusive Gated communities with social spaces like gyms and pools.

Divide et impera. Rome has fallen exactly this way. History doesn't repeat itself but it definitely rhymes.
