Nature can't qualify good vs bad or what constitutes sophisticated intellectual apparatus but since I have arbitrarily declared my desire for self-preservation to be wholly legitimate, I can. IQ tests mean something and I do not want populations of low-IQ individuals physically near me.
I don't particularly have to fear being kept in a basement suspended by stump-limbs and raped daily because the pattern recognition and heuristic engine in the human brain developed systems to protect me. Civilization discounting the import of those aspects means there is less between me and a rusty knife held by swarthy hands intent upon visiting their envy by disfiguring the finest and most sacred asset a human being can possess -- pretty White face.
Although most arrive here by misfiring of their inferior empathetic apparatus and so I choose not to resent them, people who get their good-boy points by engaging in the sort of rhetoric that legitimizes the propagation of built-in stupidity in close physical proximity to me are my enemy in a direct and physical way. This is without getting into the aesthetic ramifications.

Thanks for your support, but what about the ethical aspect of rhetoric? Your pathos is almost in step with your logos.
