Cmv: intelligence is the privilege that trumps all other privileges:
I think that when people talk about privilege, they forget about the most important one. Smarts. 

If you're smart, you can be a wheelchair bound and paralyzed, and still make it in the world. Case in point: Stephen Hawking.

He's got almost nothing going for him other than his brain. He's still successful. 

You could be an African-American/Pacific Islander transgendered/multisex pansexual with chronic diarrhea, paralyzed from the neck down, and a triple amputee with body dysmorphia, but if you've got a 190 IQ, you can become rich. You can be famous. You can have a pretty good spot in life. 

Change my view.

EDIT: Swearrengen changed my view. Smarts are worthless without motivation and dedication. The will to succeed is a lot more important than just being a smarty-pants.
