When growing up someone was smart if they 'knew rocket science' or 'were great at math' or 'knew a lot of trivia'.

Now it's almost as if 'anyone is smart' and it's undefined how to measure it.

Ie if you "guessed" that the vaccines were going to cause damage and avoided them, then you're not smart, you're just a conspiracy theorist.

intelligent people also listen to other intelligent people.

This. I can tell I'm talking to an idiot whe I give my opinion, because they don't disagree with a logical explanation or a cogent attack of my position. Instead, I get, "Nuh, uh! You're wrong."
