    Like I tell everyone, PhD doesn’t mean you are smart, it just means you can take more abuse and humiliation than most. This is the thorny path to become an expert.

      Also intelligence isn’t some all encompassing thing. Just because you are a good learner or have superb spatial thinking or whatever else doesn’t mean you are good at planning for shit.

      The classic view of intelligence completely misses how different people are, and how many different things intelligence could actually mean.
