Lately I keep thinking our biggest problem is that we confuse intelligence with loudness and arrogance, when really it's the opposite.
Intelligence is humility. It's listening and paying attention. It's understanding there's stuff you don't know or understand.
Fuck the Smartest Man in the Room.
@charliejane maybe intelligence is not what we should even be looking for, but rather wisdom that is intrinsically tied to humility and the ability to be intellectually flexible with new information, while intelligence is relative to the having the correct answer/solution regardless of whether or not the question/problem is the most helpful to be answered/solved.
Give wisdom a chance, and let's stop letting smart fools hold onto the levers of power.
