Not applying intelligence on real-world aspects that will make you successful is very much non-intelligent. Likewise, not being able to effectively communicate

Not applying intelligence on real-world aspects that will make you successful is very much non-intelligent.
Likewise, not being able to effectively communicate with a variety of people shows a lack of analysis, learning, etc.
IOW, people feeling in the situation that their "IQ" is unfairly treated should level up, by broadening their conception of intelligence and also applying it in more contexts.
- Retric 7y agoSuccessful is a rather loaded term. Maximizing income and prestige is not inherently a great use of our limited time on earth. I am not saying becoming an ascetic monk is a better or worse choice, just that people will try to maximize different things.
- rexgallorum2 7y agoMaybe success lies in being able to achieve your goals and realise your visions. If you decide to drop out and herd sheep, are you a good shepherd, or the laughing stock of the herding world?
- vemv 7y agoGenerally, we are rewarded with income and prestige when we did something valuable for society - so pursuing success isn't inherently shallow either.
