It's not really about describing people as "smart." It's about using the argument from authority, and separately it's about the questionable notion that you should only spend time around people who are "smarter" than you.
- pdimitar 8y ago> it's about the questionable notion that you should only spend time around people who are "smarter" than you Oh, that I fully agree with. It's a very copy-paste, generic and bland advice that doesn't tell you anything. It's further made worse by the very obvious observation that everybody is smart in one way and dumb in another. That's what makes communication between humans fun and interesting in the first place. So yeah, fully agreed.
