As you said that&#x27;s a mentality that exists already among many people.  It&#x27;s more of a political issue than a technological one.<p>I personally believe that smart people don&#x27;t feel any need to get privileges of any kind, since they are by definition more capable to attain their goals anyway.   You may not give a dog lots of rights, but you don&#x27;t see it as a threat or a competitor either.
