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.

All intelligence is based on how many layers of extrapolation can you simulate in your head.

How many years of math do you need to be taught before you can build a jet engine. How many social interactions do you need before you can predict group behavior.
