Beyond Smart
22nd December 2021
It may seem a hair-splitting distinction to point out that intelligence and its consequences are not identical, but it isn’t. There’s a big gap between them. Anyone who’s spent time around universities and research labs knows how big. There are a lot of genuinely smart people who don’t achieve very much.
I am often reminded that ‘intelligence and wisdom are separate rolls’. The world (and especially the government) are full of very smart yet very foolish people.
