Do you think that being too intelligent can be a curse too?

Been debating about this thought in my mind lol

I sure do. A person that has an over abundance of information and knowledge will sometimes think they are all knowing or know more than they do. It can be a detriment to learning.

Some of the most intelligent people l have known have also been the densest. I mean actually dumb about simple things.

@SW-User That is so true in general :D

@SW-User It CAN be used that way. But information and knowledge have nothing to do with intelligence. Neither does it have anything to do with "enlightenment."

@PhoenixPhail That's mostly what intelligence is -

the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

And the collection of information. I guess it does have a few definitions. But people confuse it with smart I think.

@SW-User I think they do, too.
