There's no doubt I think that some people are smarter than others.
And that some people appear much smarter, more confident, charismatic, etc than others, in person, in conversation, even in debate.
They're not necessarily the same set of people though.
- bo1024 4y agoGreat point. I find a theme in this essay of confidence, speaking quickly, and perhaps charisma being associated with intelligence or depth of thought. I've met enough brilliant people (often women) who speak softly, slowly, or without firmness or definiteness. This also varies by culture.
- jackcosgrove 4y agoIn my own life, I've found charisma flowed from confidence. And confidence flowed both from knowing what I knew, and not knowing what I don't know. Now that I know a lot more of what I don't know, I'm kind of a schlub.
