People are just scared of intelligence it’s the fact that you have enough braincells to deliberately skirt around hurting peoples feelings that either scares people or makes them think your passive aggressive. Somone of different intelligence can never understand what ur thinking if ur smarter than them, yet you can understand them and it makes them feel like your mentally stalking them. For example people are scared to talk to me because from their view I’m just gonna correct every single little invisible mistake they make. From their view I’m thinking on a 4th dimension. Once ur smart enough you can basically mind read and it scares people. If I hear somebody cough rashly then get up and head for the fridge I know they’re getting a drink. When somone is following me and I see them in the rear view mirror of a parked car in front of me and I turn around, it scares them. I am not better than anyone else nor am I that much smarter than anybody else. I just think about the results of actions instead of just the actions themselves and it scares people.

The intelligent person I call this a AWARE PERSON has the ability to look at the same subjects from different sides- exhamain it, question it and because this person can see more than one side -- come to realise that it is possible there is more to this subject what she/ he has seen so far has found out about and that is the reason for doubt.

​@@TTFerdinandI actually say something similar from time to time, I usually end up being seen as a 'pretty clever guy' but I never agree on that. It's true, I can be smart with numbers, remembering a lot of stuff, thinking, grammar, most stuff relating to my job (construction/electrician) or problem solving. But it's equally true that I'm dumb at reading people, I know literally nothing regarding cars... Motorcycles, airplanes... Anything with transport really, I'm dumb at programming, easily forget 3/4th of what I need to get from a shop in less than 3 minutes, and daaamn I can be ignorant or lazy even if I certainly need to 'get my ass up'. Am I 'intelligent' for knowing the exact prices of whatever take-away we get this evening? What if I tell you that I can... But ask me what color the car in front of me had for 10 mins & I assure you I can't answer that, so am I 'stupid' because of that? I tend to say people have smarts and dumbs together, intelligent people might just 'use' their smarts more to their advantage making them look smarter

[@JathraDH]

@@TTFerdinand I mean no, and no. It's impossible to actually learn everything about anything. When you use the term "everything" that means literally every possible thing there is to know about the object by definition. Does the farm hand know everything the engineers knew about all the finite details of how that engine functions? Absolutely not. So how can he know everything about that engine? Even if you limit the scope to "everything about repairs of that engine" there are circumstances which the farm hand would deem the engine "beyond repair" and someone else would probably say otherwise. But, smart vs dumb isn't about specific knowledge. It is more about (as the OP stated) how open you are to realize you don't know anything about anything.. If the farm hand knows the engine and thinks that since that's all he needs to know that he knows everything, than he is certainly dumb as hell. His brain isn't even capable of reaching out and asking "Is there more?"

[@KostasHolopain]

It's the short explanation of the cognitive bias known as the " Dunning- Kruger Effect" and Thoughty does a pretty good job explaining it! There's a lot of information on this and other cognitive biases in Wikipedia if you want to check them out. On the other hand, if you're asking if I personally can provide scientific evidence, I only have my personal experiences and as they are not taking place in a controlled environment with measurable and quantifiable results, they cannot be considered evidence. However, they mostly do conside with the scientific theories, so I tend to trust them- when they don't, I just dig deeper.

Hawking warned us all that the enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance; it's the ILLUSION of knowledge.

[@18wheelerzdavid]

Knowledge is simply a single branch of intelligence. This video doesn't address the true reasons WHY people of knowledge have less ego bias which is clear as blue sky.They leave their ego hanging on the walls in the form of documents crediting their academic achievements. Furthermore, our society has spent so much time nurturing and growing the branch of knowledge, while neglecting other branches such as morality, economics (which are subsidized to grow knowledge), relationships, etc... That the whole tree is severely unbalance, to the point where it couldn't even survive a minor lightning strike. Knowledge isn't the only form of intelligence. There is probably no greater intellect than morality, and the understanding of right and wrong. This is the first branch the tree had to grow before making any other branches possible. For example. When greed and deception are what truly plagues our economic system, even the most under-educated "honest people" could offer up more economic solutions than a person with a doctorate in economics. Lets face it why should we promote the value of an education even WAY PAST the point to where educated people are a really bad value? Think about this, what's an essential element to maintaining a higher credit score outside of having money to pay bills? To think about yourself? Of course it is, as a study would prove that generosity would be damaging to your personal financial profile. People who maintain growth in their bank accounts and monitor their credit scores to achieve the highest score they possibly can will most usually be bad at relationships. This is a design flaw that no college is going to teach you, because colleges need the economical system to work in their favor. There are ways to overcome all of these problems , and it's really a quite simple understanding which would in the end benefit everyone. What if the whole world changed so that nothing is mine, and everything is ours? Even the wealthiest man alive would have more than he has now, and everyone as much as he does. The USA has a large upper class, and currently we are building more mansions than we build low income housing. However, imagine a design where EVERYTHING was upper class. All things that the public uses were built to higher quality so that every time you step outside your home, everything that wealthy people have invested into their own private homes are now a part of all of them, AND all of us... Even your modest personal space would be extravagant, but it just won't be 4 stories that you can keep alll to yourself. Imagine if we shared items more... There's enough Kayaks in the USA that if we sent ALL of the kayaks to every body of water for people to use, there'd be enough left over for centuries to come. You wouldn't even need a vehicle to transport a Kayak to the lake, when you get to the lake there'd be one there. The point is, there are ways that we could ALL live better, but whats really stopping it from happening? Greed, envy, jealousy, pride, conceit, prejudice, and many other words which describe our balance with the golden rule. The real kicker though, is that being successful at any of the words just described, is going to bring you even remotely close to the happiest you could possibly be. I see successful people all the time pretending to be happy just to hurt their enemies. Why then, would anyone want to have enemies?

Yes he may post his achievements on the wall for all to see... which is actually required of them in some places. This just means the person has studied one subject very intently. It does not mean the person is knowledgeable or even intelligent. I know many doctors for example who cant seem to properly diagnose even very obvious conditions. After all people who think they already know all that there is to learn in any given subject will never strive to learn more and typically indicates they have reached the peak of their intelligence in the subject. My intelligence is that of observation and problem solving. This helps alot in dealing with my fellow humans. As an introvert to most I appear like an extrovert.. to those close to me they know when I am appearing to be extroverted I am actually acting in self defense. Also having a vast memory helps... tis a blessing and a curse. I also know quite alot about a variety of subjects. Though there are few skills I would say I have truly mastered but can perform a great deal of tasks with an above average level of quality and skill. Lastly grammar isnt one of my strong suit atleast not when it comes to writing ;) But when I am speaking to another of a higher intellect my words flow more smoothly because I do not have to moderate my speech or filter my words. I used more commonly known words so I dont get asked to repeat myself hundreds of times. Or what does that mean over and over...

I love being around smart people. It's a chance to learn. And being wrong is also an opportunity to learn. I get so frustrated with my brain. I'm inquisitive, yet there is so much my brain won't wrap around. Add some ADD to the mix, and it's exhausting.

[@aoeu256]

[@kiralonely]

I love learning new things. I love debating stuff with people, even stupid people, because I'm very clear that I'm not attached to my argument. I will side with whatever can actively prove they are legit. If you can refute my claims and views, more likely than not I'd be very interested and thankful and say I'd probably be looking further into it, since ya know, one source isn't enough per se, but still. So when someone can't refute me or prove their claims, I am stuck saying, I'd love to believe you but I have these to literally disprove everything you've pulled out your butt. Not like to be hostile, but like, it sometimes makes people think a little about shit, or they just don't believe me. The latter tends to be the people who are more, er, well, foolish. I'm not smart, I just like learning and learning new things. So I very much feel the same way, I like sharing information and hearing new information. I have a friend who built a jet engine models from a 3d printer and, similar to me, is fairly young, and I was heckin' impressed! I got to learn a lot about aerodynamics and although it still feels confusing, it was really fascinating to hear about. I also love friends who are as philisophical as me because we can share views and discuss them more civilly than I find most other subjects to be. Most subjects can stay civil with a low chance of getting defensive or argumentative, whereas philosophy, for me, has stayed pretty good at remaining a chill topic. Basically, I'm the same and it's so cool to learn from people who might know more about certain subjects than yourself.

I, sadly, don't apply this skill to most situations. This got me stuck arguing with several people in my history class (advanced, mind you) about whether or not you could see air. It also got me into a pickle where someone kept trying to tell me that "biodegradability" (how safe it is for the environment, can it be degraded naturally?) is the same as "durability" (if it can degrade and is safe for the environment, how long can it last?). It's extremely frustrating, I wish I wasn't so stubborn.

In reality most people's problem is not that they are not very intelligent, but that they have no idea how stupid they are in specific subjects. I.e. even Einstein was clueless at say cooking but that doesn't mean he is stupid unless he thought he's an amazing cook when he wasn't.

Since intelligent people have educational pedigrees and dumbasses have the Dunning-Kruger card, who ends up subjectively feeling the dumbest? There are arguments I don't even attempt to win - for example, my wife believes in angels and a friend thinks the Covid vaccine will kill everyone in three years as part of a population control plot by 'the elites' (and has plenty of links from two bullshit websites to prove it)

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

@@TravisJones812 As for the latter, just tell them the Russians are spreading that information to sow distrust of the American population their own government, as to destabilize the country and weaken it's presence on a world stage. Conspiracy nuts can be won over with a better conspiracy. The best part is when, a few months after the story of a doctor using this idea (he phrased it as "perhaps anti-vax messaging is just an attempt at foreign powers to weaken our healthcare system?") to get a woman to agree to a modified vaccine schedule, there was some article that was released about supposed Russian involvement in pushing anti-vax nonsense. I mean, who knows about the truth behind it. I certainly don't care enough to validate it, but it would be a smart way to destabilize your enemies.

I can't disagree with that, of course.

well of cause. people with no intelligence argue with emotion because that is all they have but when you argue with emotion you can't think clearly and thus learn nothing. intelligent people apply that information in different ways because applying information is intelligence.

[@jerelull2619]

An, of course, the corollary is that such people aren't as interested in learning something new, thus getting more intelligent, etc.
