Smart. Fuck the future people. I want to be happy now. Can't be assed with the future generation.

If someone is intelligent, that almost always means they're wise as well (at least more than the average person).

I knew someone would accuse me of that, I guess I didn't word the post carefully enough.
I am actually dumb (IQ = 85) and not remotely wise.
Jokes on you!
>>38349928
wow, you clearly aren't either.

Intelligence has nothing to do with wisdom. Go listen to Jordan Peterson.
>>38349949
Some youtube shitposter is your guru?
Have you ever seen a person with down's that is considered "wise"?
Definition of wise is
>having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgement.
2/3 of those require some degree of intelligence.

How is that jokes on me? I knew that.
>>38349948
How so?
>>38349841
>good grades, high salary, everyone respects you, happy
These are all bullshit and are not guaranteed for being intelligent
>wisdom doesn't translate to success, nobody knows who you are
Also bullshit
But I would rather be smart. Intelligence is something you are born with, and can't really be changed. Wisdom just takes lots of reading and experience. Both are helpful
