I know, smarter generally means better at brain stuff. Better thinking. Having a lot of good knowledge stored in your head too.

But there is infinitely more the the world than thinking. And having ideas about the world is a pretty shallow form of understanding. Ideas are like shadows.

So a better kind of smarter would give you better understanding of this larger world. That’s the kind of smarter I’m looking at.
