Then you finally meet the smartest person you've ever met and, statistically given the quality of the room and their excellence above and beyond it, ever will meet.
And you realize that person spends their life handing out wisdom which consistently just falls on deaf ears.
It's an empty journey with an unsatisfying end even if you make it to the top.
The money's great, but if you are smart enough to be constantly walking into bigger and better rooms, you should also be smart enough to realize there's diminishing returns on personal wealth but diminishing supply on personal time.
Sometimes the best strategy in winning a game is not to play.
- dmichulke 4y agoFully agree. As an aside, you can be smartest in programming and even managing teams but you might still not be most sociable, strongest, most musical, richest, most charismatic, funniest, most attractive, <insert adjective here> person. If the only measure you go by is IQ, you're childishly defining the game all other kids are supposed to play and then wonder why no one plays with you. That would definitely not be smart.
