Raw intelligence, by itself, is just that: raw. A wise and learned individual has to go beyond multiple choice exam pedigree and actively seek-out the nuances of history and the real world rather than retreating into a comfortable filter bubble.

Otherwise, the result is plenty of "smart" people who are below average in other life domains including self-awareness, philanthropy and civic participation.
