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.

Mental flexibility, logical reasoning, remaining emotionally collected, not making excuses for mistakes but correcting them, form their own opinions and ideas that are uniquely theirs, respecting and admiring other smart people rather than envying them.... to name a few.
