What are some signs when you are in the presence of someone who you thought of as smart but realized is probably a brainlet?

They will keep reminding you how smart and experienced they are.

For example, some women I dated as a younger man wouldn’t shut up about how wise and socially intelligent they are compared to me (and men in general).

At some point I figured out they’re full of shit. All that “wisdom” and female intuition amounts to not much more than leveraging their beauty and vaginas for some low grade manipulation tactics.

This. People that have done nothing in life bur cling to the IQ results as a validation. The mildly intelligent that works hard towards his goals will easily outperform any lazy fuck.

The thing is, Einstein, one of the main examples people use of 'smart but lazy', spent his free time reading literature and philosophy and studying math and physics. He read Critique of Pure Reason when he was 13. These people usually spend all their time playing video games and watching capeshit and think that a knowledge of the sciences and a knowledge of the arts are mutually exclusive.

>> No.10638203

>>10638103
Spending all their time alone playing video games and watching capeshit instead of doing things like working out or engaging with literature, science, art, philosophy etc. There's nothing wrong with the occasional bit of pure entertainment, but these people consume nothing but entertainment.

I suppose so. But why do they decide to assess one's "smartness" solely by looks, attitude and behaviour, rather on the practical result? I'd call someone smart if I see that one's faster than peers in processing the information, his practical results are high-quality (grades do show that, unless you're a cheater). Although I knew several people bluntly said to me, "well, your results and performance are bad, maybe you should reconsider ...". At least they are honest.
