Alright, I'll bite

someone smarter like me should dictate their lives

You added that as what you imagined the original poster's point was, yet I see no call for action in their post. They simply made an observation. This would be like me saying "I notice that wild animals can often be aggressive when they have young children to protect", then someone else acting like my solution would therefore be to prevent them from having children.

It's a wild and unfounded extrapolation made from your preconceived notion of how this person thinks, based solely on their distain for the ignorance they've observed. I've seen many who make the same observation but their proposed solutions were better education, not dictatorial rule.
