It sounds like, to you, being smart has a lot to do with real world results. Their quickness. Their ability to accomplish things. Their successes. So, Kanye would be someone incredibly smart, but he may not necessarily have the most intelligence. It sort of sounds like street smarts vs book smarts.

I don’t think I really like this framework much, but I’ll think about it. I think there’s emotional intelligence, and after that it just breaks down into a bunch of different categories you can be intelligent in. So, I’d call Ye a creative genius, which doesn’t make him a genius in every facet. People who are creative geniuses are able to find the metaphors in things, so that’s one differentiator.

Well I’d say you’re right about it being a lot of different aspects. You can make a million different arguments with Ye. Kanye showed brilliance and smarts early in his career but maybe not so intelligent or smart later in his career. Still not a donkey cause he’s still outselling most other artists on the world stage. It’s funny tho, he really could just be a genius. I think geniuses aren’t always the smartest but they ticked at some point and became brilliant. So even if he wasn’t smart these last few years he still could’ve been brilliant. Geniuses are rarely well rounded individuals. Also, he’s been a fashion wave god since he started so he’s obviously bright when it comes to art.

I think being a creative genius has everything to do with having a high taste level. You need to dislike things. “I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most” says a lot. You also need to figure out what you like, and you need to fetishize those things. It really comes down to figuring out how to be completely you.

Intelligence is more knowledge and smarts is more quickness imo. And you’re right about that but if you strip it back a little, a smart person would have a goal (even if they can’t achieve it) where as a stupid person wouldn’t have any goals. There’s a lot of compelling arguments that can be made for why someone is smart or dumb.

not exactly related, but if you don't have any goals in life rn, how do you go about setting any?

i don't really have goals rn. just routines like going to the gym and work and stuff. but nothing long term

crazy to think there's people who can't see 1 clearly on a table or in 3D.

just want to know how the others visualize/process objects around the world
