On The Topic Of Intelligence... 🧠

A lot of people seem to highly value intelligence. And, I admit, I enjoy talking and doing things with very intelligent people.

However, I submit, intelligence is a stand-alone commodity, and has nothing to do with character or intention.

Ex: I'm certain a serial killer will do a much better job of serial killing with high intelligence than with low.

I would much rather spend time with someone of average, or even lower intelligence who is kind, compassionate and loving, than with someone of very high intelligence who's an asshole.

Truth. Plus, I’ve been around a lot of highly intellectual people who are arrogant or think they are better than me.
@Dewkissedrose Yes, I've experienced quite a bit of that, too.

@PhoenixPhail I don’t consider myself an intellectual, but I’m educated. I don’t need those people in my life.
@Dewkissedrose I think you underestimate yourself.
I think you're very intelligent. Our conversations in PMs are indicative. 😊

Intellectuals can lack intelligence. @Dewkissedrose
@Carissimi There's also cognitive intelligence vs emotional intelligence.

Being an intellectual has as little to do with being intelligent as being a sportswriter has to do with being athletic.

Isn’t that the same point I made? @TheSageofMainStreet
