The issue here is that if the smart brilliant man decides that he will prioritize his family and friends, creating happy community around him ... you will just say he was not brilliant. Because he earns less money.
As in, your example assumes that if you are brilliant you will neglect family, if you care about family you are not brilliant.
You do indeed need to change the definition of "smart" to not be just "earns a lot of money".
- xyzelement 2mo agoI think you missed the point of my post. It's not either or but the totality of persuit and outcome. Neglecting family for work is not smart. Neglecting work for family is also not smart (hurts the family) Striking the right balance and achieving enough of each is the smart thing that's hard to pull off but is the prize.
