I feel like an under-discussed thing right now is how the vast majority of people paid to be smart are not smart.

Literally paid to be willfully ignorant.

AI is only considered 'intelligent' because it imitates the database of text, *presumptively* intelligent. 'aql/intellect is such a divine gift that Arabic/Muslim philosophers considered humanity the rational animal, حيون النتق, capable of reason in potential.

Are they paid to be smart or to say what the ruling class wants to hear? I feel like it's the latter...

Serious question: Which group has a higher proportion of people who are smart, a) the people who are paid to be smart or b) the people who *aren't* paid to be smart? As someone who is technically in the first group and studies human behavior for a living, I think it's the second.

It was kind of shocking when Michelle Obama said it, but these last 9yrs have really proven her to be 100% correct.

I think most people who get paid to be smart are not smart; they're just well-connected and (especially if female) conventionally attractive.

I’d agree, but I’m also too cynical to believe that these people aren’t doing exactly what they’re paid for.

They are paid for the talking skills and appearing to be smart to less smart people. They aren’t actually paid for being smart!

NPR is spending a LOT of time saying Biden should drop out, ignoring Trump's mental & moral deficits.

In the ways we want people to be smart, nobody is. Human brains are just flawed tools, with built in biases and errors. Nobody is capable of the kind of constant objective problem solving we imagine our leaders do.

I think they are just bad people. They have bad principles and in times like these it shows.
