No, it's why vanilla direct democracy is shit.
Voting for people that will choose for you what's supposed to be good for you is even worse and not a solution.
We should have referendums answering specific problems (not voting for politician assholes), and the first page of the ballot should be a short test of your political awerness. The weight of your vote would depend on your score.
The fact there is a test would filter out most morons anyway - they wouldn't want to take it.
Of course creating proper unbiased questions and all that is a big problem (he who makes the questions makes the politics). But it's doable to streamline creating the tests and the referendum questions more or less unbiased. Just a lot of legislative work.
What's not doable is to change anything since 99% of society has actually no saying in the decisionmaking of "democratic" nation. They just think they do. And even if they had - they wouldn't want to give up that right. Not to the rich but to the smart 1%.

Am I elitist now?

I remember feeling pretty sharp and manic most of the time 5 years ago, my brain was flashing with information that flowed all by itself. Nowadays my mind is just blank, disassociated and very slow.

Cogsketch wasn't built to do this test though. Also the computer has not "seen" the test before. The script is restarted from zero every time. It has no built in training data from previous tests runs, the only training it brings is its practice drawing little sketches.

This is actually showing something meaningful, that civil engineers have good fucking taste.

Yeah, cognitive depression. If you abused substances or are currently suffering a bout of mental illness your intelligence usually decreases in kind.
