The sharp one's tend to be simple.

Eben in the well water manenos, I bet you the water engineers were on the ground very early the next day with the required chemicals

Yes you might be what you know but what you do with the knowledge doesn’t have anything to do with anything. It’s a matter of preference and personality, traits that are determined by the environment.

There are genius PhD holders in the US who choose to be janitors when they could be ‘more’. There are high IQ individuals who dropped out of highschool and are now millionaires because they have an edge in hacking, coding or even trading.

Hebu soma story ya a Russian math genius called Grigori Perelman who solved one of the most difficult math problems in the 20th century and how he chooses to live his life today.

It’s one thing to revive those industries. It’s another story to get them to produce at competitive prices.

You’re unintentionally arguing my point for me since you fail to screen your thought process, you’re a linear thought type of fellow who imagines that intelligence will translate to financial success or some sort of tallying system that allows one to tower above the rest.

Their intelligence allows them to appreciate the quiet life when they know exactly how they can leverage their abilities for a life pilsner drinking bimbos fantasize about.

That’s exactly what intelligence does. It gives you that advantage and some people don’t take it because of their personality. It’s not imagining, it’s fact, based on what they choose to give up. It has nothing to do with their intelligence.

Your original point was that you are what you know which I understand translates to ‘if you have not given up wealth for a quiet life then you are not as intelligent as those that have’. First of all, ‘Appreciating the quiet life’ is a subjective opinion which stems from personality. It’s not an objective fact about anyone’s life.

Secondly, Academia vs field operators, who’s smarter? This is an old debate and there’s really no reliable way to test it since humans value greatness based on monetary success. There are lots of examples of math PhD’s giving up teaching at uni to go make money in hedge funds. The best example is a billionaire math PhD holder called Jim Simmons who has consistently beaten the market for decades. Is he less smart because he’s not in academia?

Amen brother !

Very true.
