O right - my reply is disgusting ad hominem and out of place, but suggesting that you call your wife "ludicrously stupid" and "extremely dumb" is not?

Edit: Just saw your reply to the OP: "If she is dimwitted to a point that she doesn't understand even when it's explained, I'd try to find a new wife."

Words fail me.

I don't know. I can't stand to be with someone that isn't on par with me when it comes to intellect/emotions (and that is not that difficult to achieve). To commit to such a serious relationship with someone that doesn't and can't understand my position seems almost impossible for me.

Also the wife in question is a theoretical construct, not an actual human being, that was for purpose of mental experiment made 'extremely dumb'. He isn't saying his or any other wife/parter was dumb, he made a thought experiment to demonstrate his point. Try to not be so obtuse.
