Wow, what a fab read! ✨ I hope most people go through this, even if they skim. Whoever skims, reads again to understand. Whoever understands a bit, tries to discuss it with their fellows. So much to uncover here! https://collabfund.com/blog/in…

P.S. One of the best statements from this read: “That’s not irrational,” says Soros. (But please don’t try this; you’re probably not as smart as Soros). 😁

'The purely intelligent person will find this hard to grasp, because if you think there is one right answer to every problem, you insist on banging through more debate until the other side agrees with you.' The best lines to resonate with me and my line of thinking in the entire read

"Kevin Kelly has this great idea that you’re only thinking independently if your views on certain topics can’t be predicted from your views on other topics."

Freethinking as a school of thought would be valid if it didn't concern itself with so much individuality

“If you’re merely intelligent, you might focus all of your effort on finding precise truth. If you’re smart, you’ll focus just as much effort on delivering an effective message around that truth, realizing that the most powerful truth does no good if you can’t get people to pay attention to it.”

“One of the stupidest things I’ve repeatedly seen smart people do – I call this Advanced Stupid – is that they get so fixated on trying to optimize something complicated, that they forget to optimize for survival, and then they get knocked out of the game. Like having a startup trying to do something complicatedly clever, and then running out of money…” https://visakanv.substack.com/… I think it’s intelligent people who act this way.

You're right. He's mentioning Intelligent people. This Intelligent vs. Smart thing is not a universal definition yet. But it's a good framework!

I don't know what the distinctions between Smart and intelligent are. Many of them seem to be contextual. History is laden with examples of erudite individuals making dumb decisions all the time and not so remarkable people making just one critical decision that changes the whole trajectory of history. Tho I'll say, one of the smartest thing anyone can do is accept that they don't know the answer instead of bullshitting people with their predictions.
