He’s a Fool that cannot conceal his Wisdom. — Benjamin Franklin > Related: 'George W. Bush is smarter than you'. While it may be in vogue to flaunt intelligence in certain professional circles, many, including Bill Gates define "smart" as "an elusive concept. There’s a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To walk into a situation, have something explained to you and immediately say, 'Well, what about this?' To ask an insightful question. To absorb it in real time. A capacity to remember. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective." https://www.thejournal.ie/bill-gates-top-quotes-690230-Dec2012/ https://www.thejournal.ie/bill-gates-top-quotes-690230-Dec20... According to many intelligence officials and former advisors, Bush perfectly fits Bill Gates definition of being incredibly intelligent. The reality is, just because a leader hasn't convinced you of their abilities, that in no way detracts from them.
