I don’t want to be close to people who: are unable to follow a simple reasoning, consistently assume things that they cannot reliably know, have an 8-or-80 mindset, or conflate their wishes with reality. Because people like this turn the lives of the ones around them into living hells.
Note: I’m talking about intelligence as “ability to reason”. I’m not talking about the set of knowledge that the person amassed over time, or ability to memorise stuff.
Essential.
