Why some people are very smart yet very dumb? Seen some people get Bachelor's and Masters's degrees but throw a fit like a mentally delayed kid.

I think you are confusing types of intelligence. Also the more you go forward in academia the more focused your work is. My Masters is in predictive analytics it's an advanced degree, I will still lose my phone when it's right next to me if it's playing music...so. 🤣

@thisgenericnamehere Bad terminology on my part. I certainly never meant to imply that the Hawkings and Einsteins of the world are not geniuses. Probably should have said "the truly remarkable people" rather than geniuses.

@dancingtongue Fair, I think it also has to do with their time period. Your Ben Franklin of today would be able to focus on a single subject because the volume of knowledge available is orders of magnitude bigger. You had to dabble because the fields they worked in were comparatively shallow.

@thisgenericnamehere Very true that it was easier in that sense. OTOH, to break new ground and be an innovator in those eras -- and now I am thinking of Galileo and Copernicus -- was to invite ridicule and worse.

Depends on context, I have no idea what led up to you writing this. Generally however, smart people can still have biases. Smart people can be cruel or unkind or unfair or abuse people. Like someone else stated, you only go so far in education and then it gets more narrower. Adults have a hard time taking in new information which is a neuroscientific fact so at some point you become fixed in your ways even if you're wrong.
