@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat's a great quote; however, "genius" and "intelligence" are not the same thing.

@fmf saidPartly down to the 'Dunning Kruger Effect.'
Sorry, forgive me for contemplating my navel and lamenting the pitiful circumstances of my life. Indulge me, please. Why do so many people with very high IQs amount to nothing?
Very intelligent people don't think they are, they tend to think everybody knows what they know. Dumb folk tend to think they are intelligent because they don't know that they don't know.

@the-gravedigger saidI met Kruger when I played cricket against South Africa U-17 XI during the boycott [one of the reasons I never played for England] but I've never met Dunning. Is there a particular effect when you meet them together?

@divegeester saidYou present me with more questions than answers.
Is this actually a fact? It’s an interesting one if it is true. Depends on how many “so many” is I suppose. Also what a “very high IQ” actual is.

@the-gravedigger saidNow that I do know, my memory of what I knew previously is unreliable.
Did you know?
