18. It's not about intelligence.

Throughout human history some very intelligent people have done some very stupid things due to emotional and psychological issues.

Cops encounter very clever criminals all the time. Psychologists and psychiatrists deal with exceptionally brilliant patients.

For people who do not have the psych and emotional issues of criminals and racists, their behaviors are stupid. But to people who do have those issues, their behavior seems quite normal and reasonable. You can't reason with them until you cut through and disable the emotional and psychological issues.
