    If you want to split hairs even further, it might make more sense to talk about people having different “intelligences” in different skills and areas of life, rather than using “intelligence” as a single, all-encompassing description of all intellectual ability.

      Intelligence is like sport. Just because someone is good at tennis doesn’t mean they know shit about long jump. It’s a skill that people develop over time and it encompasses many different types of knowledge.

        Bro I’m like…

        an Olympic decathlete of intelligence.

        I got the gold medal in like

        math.

        and computers! and other stuff.

        Sorry that you can’t get good a real sport like crypto and need to play “di-eclectic materialism” or whatever. Like who even cares about being good at ping pong?
