    Is intelligence all that?

    Does high intelligence make you a happier person that is more attractive to women? Even in the unlikely event that you are a woman? Does an intelligent person get more from life than an unintelligent person or an insect? Is it all that? Are intelligent people trustworthy or is intelligence merely a mechanism of shafting your peers in more humane ways?

          We had it made as hunter-gatherers. If we could just return to those halcyon days and include some high technology gadgetry and gizmos of course...

                    'If you're so smart, how come you ain't rich ?'
                    Very smart people sometimes have their own issues of personality etc, don't know if it's a tendency to over analyse or frustration with people who aren't as smart or do things 'for a laugh'.
                    There are certain niches for these people in research, IT, universities, civil service but most of the rest of us need more social smarts to get on, especially contractors who are expected to get on with everyone !
