Hey! You! Yeah, You! What do you do?
#10
I think there are a lot more people who are seriously smart than generally believed - it's just that most of them don't wind up in (or don't pursue) situations where they get to develop and use their smarts to the full extent, or formally codify the things they've learned in a form that allows them to be passed along.

My dad was seriously smart. But he was a seriously smart *farmer*. Not a technician of any kind, but understood absolutely everything about weather, crops, soil, pests, etc. He never formalized it or codified it, but what he had understood and learned through experience, without even noticing the process of learning, was more than lots of degree programs cover.
