I think of itelligence as someones potential.
Someone I know well, left Sussex University with a degree in Physics, he needed some quick money, so with his good brain for numbers got a "temporary" job dealing cards in a Brighton Casino.
He never left the business and wound up as Southern Regional Director for entertainment in Britain for the company he worked for.
My point is, the high rollers, probably important and or wealthy folk no doubt would not have given him a second thought in a pecking order if held in the Casino at that time.
He however, could quite arguably be considered as the smartest or most intelligent person in the joint!(and an expert in low temp physics in his field)
If you know nothing about mechanics how smart are you compared to the guy who fixes your bike?
I'd say its all relative........(a little Einsteinism)
So instead of putting oneself on a pillar above others and looking down on those less fortunate, be a little more forgiving for peoples faults. They may not be as bad or evil as you think.......
