I know plenty of intelligent people who just aren’t as smart as they think they are. I’m sure you do too.
Mental derangement and fat egos are bound to lead to mistakes, right?
Oh yes. I’ve know very bright people who made big personal and business mistakes. They get so used to being right most of the time they eventually see themselves as infallible. And that’s when they they get the wake up call of their lives. The funny thing is they usually get tripped up by really dumb mistakes and miscalculations.
Great intelligence is certainly capable of making great errors in judgement.
