I very much want dumb people to have representation.
No, you don't want dumb people to have representation, because idiots will spread misinformation (everything from climate change being fake to masks being unnecessary) and adopt corrupt practices to garner their votes. Smart people are less vulnerable to misinformation.

You want people who believe science, have a sense of foresight for several years, understand international politics, and how resources and economics work to decide the future of the country.
