Over the last few years, there have been 1 significant changes in the way that intelligence is looked upon by the media in this country. Only a few years ago, anyone who was 2 exceptionally intelligent was looked up to by journalists, and the idea that this situation would change was unthinkable. However, today's media, obsessed by personality, has decided that ability is less important than physical attractiveness. 3 Brilliance is met with suspicion or indifference, and intellectuals are less newsworthy than those who have 4 members of the 'right' clubs. How were these 5 developments allowed to happen? One, rather positive, view is that, as people have become less 6 tolerant of minorities and less fortunate members of society, we feel that, to be 7 consistent, we should also look kindly upon the less intellectual members of society. I'm not convinced by this argument, and I am 8 horrified by the fact that a contestant on a reality TV show can earn more in one week than a top 9 physicist can earn in a year.

За последние несколько лет произошли 1 значительные изменения в том, как на интеллект смотрят СМИ в этой стране. Всего несколько лет назад на любого, кто был 2 исключительно умным, равнялись журналисты, и мысль о том, что эта ситуация изменится, была немыслима. Однако сегодняшние СМИ, одержимые личностью, решили, что способности менее важны, чем физическая привлекательность. 3 Блеск встречается с подозрением или безразличием, а интеллектуалы менее заметны в новостях, чем те, у кого есть 4 члены "правильных" клубов. Как эти 5 события были допущены? Один, довольно позитивный, взгляд состоит в том, что, поскольку люди стали менее 6 терпимыми к меньшинствам и менее удачливым членам общества, мы считаем, что, чтобы быть 7 последовательными, мы также должны доброжелательно относиться к менее интеллектуальным членам общества. Я не убежден этим аргументом, и я 8 в ужасе от того факта, что участник реалити-шоу может заработать больше за одну неделю, чем ведущий 9 физик может заработать за год.
