What is the measure of smartness in our society, who is smart, who is dumb, who is a philosopher and who are rest?? Smart, a word that has a value so BIG even ýlooksý and ýbeautyý (which drives our current society) puts his head down in front of it, but how do define a person that is smart. I hear the ýSmartý term so frequently nowadays, ýdude! That guy was the first in our class, he is Smartý, but is he really smart enough as that of a dude, who deals with herbs and makes thousands? Why isnýt an herb dealer considered, smart? Writing with big meaning full words, being in an Ap(honor roll) class, scoring in the first 10 percent or solving a big long calculus problem, or simply imaging and writing about worldýs that just beyond our understanding, is that what you have to do to be smart? What is a form of smart intelligent and brilliant people? Maybe I am not that of a ýsmartý guy myself so I am seeking help out here, is genius a understanding and making good choice or is it solving big formulas??
