'The late Harvard Business School professor Chris Argyris argued that
smart people can make the worst employees, in part because they’re not
used to dealing with failure or criticism. Multiple studies have
concluded that interpersonal skills, self-awareness, and other
“emotional” qualities can be better predictors of strong job performance
than conventional intelligence, and the College Board itself points out
that it has never claimed SAT scores are helpful hiring filters."
I continue to see the term "stupid" used when the more accurate term should be ignorant (of the subject being discussed) or deluded (indoctrinated or mentally ill).
The war on stupid people
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
