This. I think this is where that line is that I'm still trying to dial in on. To some extent, intelligence is under our control (this is why "you're being ignorant" is legit. Some idiocy (or lack of education?) is by choice). So, maybe it's fine to mock somebody for remaining willfully ignorant. But not ok if they're intellectually less capable due medical/biological factors?
No wonder it's a blurry line. This shit is ambiguous af.
