if you knew who was smart then you would be smart

 

if you knew who was smart then you would be smart, you would know what to do, you would do what the smart one does

 

if you knew who was smart then you would be smart, you would know what to decide, you would decide what the smart one would have decided

 

if you knew who was smart then you would be smart, you would know which way to choose, you would have chosen the path the smart one would have chosen

 

we use the word smart (or not-smart) and the smart (or not-smart) label to describe everyone and their dog

if you knew who was smart then you would be smart

however you have no fucking clue

you can only recognize how smart someone is to the extent to which YOU yourself are smart

those smarter than you will be beyond your comprehension

 

you can only recognize how smart someone is to the extent to which YOU yourself are smart

and when you recognize who indeed is smarter — then you get smarter

you DO what THEY DO

not uncritically, obviously. But doing what the smarter do is a good rule of thumb. It’s better then doing what stupid do, for sure.

 

save your labels for your friend’s dog (“good” dog, “smart” dog)

recognize the fool — so that you don’t work with him

recognize one clearly little smarter then you — so that you learn from him

that is all you have to do

if you knew who was smart then you would be smart
