Lately They've been claiming [smarter people are more deceptive]
So I don't trust smart people any more.
It also seems that [willingness to be ruthlessly brutal] is currently a beneficial attribute.
Thought bubble of person doing it right: "must make sure people over-estimate or under-estimate me at all times. Avoid correct estimation at all costs... Must reproduce... Must destroy opposition...."
I haven't heard smart peoples' opinions of the survivability of individuals who'd rather bow out from all competition and prefer to exist in the psychedelic 15th dimension.
My apologies if I've just accidentally deceived you or myself due to some previously undiagnosed pocket of smarts but I'm pretty sure I'm being earnest, or at least not-sarcastic. I'd like to take this theme and poem it up a bit though.
