it isn't about smartness in the sense of IQ. It is just completely different view on where society/economy and the whole civilization should go. Thiel vs. Musk. Conservative collapse vs. progressive expansion. Ant/termite colony (like those that have been at the same place for 1000+ years) vs. interplanetary civilization. Conformal uniformity vs. diversity in the widest sense of the word. Succumbing to the fear of change vs. embracing and riding that fear like a wave, converting the fear into the source of energy.
