it is a thing. it's just worthless and no one will ever care.
maybe you'll feel good sometimes because you think you're smart, but you'll never feel satisfied until you try to do something with those smarts.

The way I see it you can have a high fluid IQ that makes it easier for you to learn and figure out, but if you are lazy you aren't building up knowledge, and knowledge is another side of intelligence

Transforming everything into indifferent natural laws leaves the whole universe so small and cold, and leaves you as just a automaton.

Smart and lazy is still mediocre no matter how you slice it.

>>9017695
At the end of the day smart but lazy isn't really any better than stupid if you're an HR person looking to hire competent workers/researchers. You need highly motivated and driven people. Usually those people are smart but it may be more because they applied themselves and worked for it than because of any natural genius.

Additionally, literally everyone who has done shitty in school will claim they are "smart but lazy" regardless of whether they actually are or not and it's very difficult to actually check it since our metrics for measuring intelligence are imperfect and most places don't require you submit an IQ test anyway. In short smart but lazy is a meaningless term.

No workplace will ever consider an IQ test (at least in the US) since it has a disparate impact on blacks

>> No.9018040

Or... perhaps it's because an IQ test is generally a poor predictor of job performance.

It's definitely a thing, but society doesn't reward people for being smart, it rewards them for applying your mind towards solving a problem. Basically, the smart but lazy are treated no differently from the dumb and lazy.

If you gots smarts, use it, my buddies. You just gotta believe in what you do, rest will take care of itself.
