its only those attached to compulsive pleasures, as ironic as it sounds having more noble pursuits can make one smarter insofar it makes one more aware, more conscious. Its about having an open mind and the knowledge of knowing what you don't know you don't know.

But who cares when you can overeat,masturbate,take the easy way out and never do any hard work?
