You can be brilliant in some aspects and a delusional moron in others. The latter often happens when the brilliant feel their brilliance extends beyond their education.
- peteforde 3y agoI didn't finish high school, and by your logic I shouldn't be able to do much more than flip burgers. I can believe that pmarca is wrong about many things, but that doesn't make him a moron. pmarca is clearly not a moron. If you have a huge problem with his opinions, writing him off as a moron is intellectually lazy and it won't advance your position.
- meheleventyone 3y agoYou need to read what I wrote again because I didn’t call him a moron or say that if you are uneducated you can’t be brilliant.
- peteforde 3y agoNot only did I read what you wrote again, I re-read the comment that you replied to... the one that clearly unambiguously calls pmarca a delusional moron. In other words, we were both replying to a comment that did indeed call him a moron.
- meheleventyone 3y agoSo long as we’re clear that I didn’t.
- kortilla 3y agoNo you can’t, moron is a term for intelligence, not knowledge.
- meheleventyone 3y agoWell if we want to language lawyer things it actually says delusional moron which could imply an intelligent person under delusions acts moronically. But in reality we're discussing this using colloquial terms so I don't think your complaint carries much water.
- thisgoesnowhere 3y agoHave you ever heard about Bobby Fischer's opinions on literally anything other than chess? Is he not intelligent? As the other poster said it's not relevant how smart someone is in one arena because they can have dogshit opinions in others. https://www.chess.com/blog/Rodgy/the-genius-craze-of-bobby-fischer https://www.chess.com/blog/Rodgy/the-genius-craze-of-bobby-f...
