Would you prefer to be the most intelligent among people in your local community/social circle or to be among people of equal intellectual pedigree?

I have had both of those experiences and being among peers wins hands down.

There are many types of intelligence. I wouldn’t want to be the most intelligent across all categories. Something would be seriously broken if that were the case.

Right now I’m the least intelligent, so if you’ve got an app to make me smarter, I guess I’ll give it a try.

Define “intelligent.” My best buddy has a PhD in math. But if you ask him who won when Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Sting faced off at WCW Starrcade 1997, he won’t be able to tell you.

Not to brag, but I do.
