31 “Small, Low-Key Signs” That A Person Is Really Intelligent

What I found when reading all the above posts, it's all about how intelligence is perceived for each. So it's not really about how intelligent someone really is, is about how intelligent someone comes across ;)

31 “Small, Low-Key Signs” That A Person Is Really Intelligent

Absolutely, and I think some of those people have different definitions of intelligent.

"It's Simply Impossible To Do So On Your Own": Person Proves Why The Boomer Generation Had It Twice As Easy As Gen Z

SOOOOO many naive commenters! Go out and get an MBA in finance like I did...oh, that's right, you could afford it. Or withhold judgment until you serve as a corporate VP for a number of years like I did...oh, that's right, you'd like to judge before facts prove you wrong. I'm pretty sure you'd be able to Google microeconomics and learn enough to disabuse you of all the naive conclusions you've come to...but your ego probably isn't up to it.

OK, compassion of apples anger oranges is complicated. And that gives lotsa room to ignore important considerations if you're trying to prove a given POV, as the OP clearly is. For example, this guy ignored the advantage that young folks have with far more scholarship opportunities, far more ways to earn cash from self-employment (think internet), far wealthier parents to support education, etc. I'd LOVE to see an unbiased assessment from someone who understands the impact of substitutions in computing costs and valuations.

Interesting how po' folk expect unequal wealth to be unfair when they've made none of the sacrifices needed to EARN more than others.

"Unrestrained capitalism being a benefit to all is as much a pipe dream...." So true. It ruthlessly punishes the lazy, the irresponsible, the self-indulgent and the ignorant who consider themselves worthy of ever-growing wealth without making any sacrifices. And that's true for consumers, workers and top management. And markets DO need restraints. Monopolies (including unions) make for inefficient competition that unfairly sets prices higher than supply and demand would dictate.
