To me it is chess. I know how the piece move but that is it.

  • I hate that people don’t recognize the depth of what intelligence can be. You alluded to athletic intelligence, but there’s so many more. Emotional intelligence is a big buzzword, but just being a kind person is a reflection of that type.

    Some of the most insufferable people I’ve ever met are “smart” but holy shit would I prefer to spend my time with someone else.

    I don’t think there is a great way to quantify intelligence, but IQ and MENSA ain’t it. And chess is just boring. I’m not good at it because I don’t want to be.
