The video explores the phenomenon how a huge number of high IQ, highly educated individuals somehow become complete idiots.


Is there anyone like that, who posts here? Anyone ever attend The Harvard of the South?

I think this applies to people like Musk also. Being a great business person doesn't really mean we should blindly trust his political stances. If anything we should question his motivations.

Specialists often become impressed with their knowledge in one area.

I've met a few of those IRL. My dorm mate as a college freshman was a 'Math is all I do' guy. He took Calculus I,II,III and IV that year and aced them all. But he made Ds and Fs in all other subjects. He's probably rich but very boring today.

Just watched it.

Shouldn’t it be:

The less time we spend in the real world, the MORE of a cost we experience being detached from it.
