🌶️ as far as i can tell, there are 3 types of smart people: 1) first-order smart—what most people imagine when you say someone is smart. they have good book knowledge, strong theoretical background, but blindness towards 2nd-order effects. they can't really recognize other 2 groups of smart people (or they think they're on their level). typically midwits 2) second-order smart—they may not posses as much book knowledge as the previous group, but they make it up with experience or brain capacity to see beyond the theory. you can't recognize them based on their social status. could be a top lawyer, a gang member, or your grandma 3) gigabrains—nobody, not even themselves can tell them apart from absolute dimwits. to successfully identify these people, you've got to go beyond reason and rely on your gut. they know when and where hurricanes happen after seeing a butterfly flap its wings on their sporadic walk to get cheap ramen. usually look as if they've just been sacked from their own metal band
