    “idiot” and “intelligent” are not mutually exclusive. One can be both at the same time. There are intelligent people doing idiotic stuff.

      Of course people aren’t completely predictable. But do you see how you phrased that? “Intelligent people doing idiotic stuff”. You recognize the difference between intelligent people doing idiotic stuff vs an idiot doing idiotic stuff.

        No, I meant Intelligent people can be idiots too. Idiot does not mean dumb. So what you are asking is not idiot vs intelligent, but dumb vs intelligent.

            Didn’t I just told you that? You “meant”. What do you mean I don’t believe that? I just told you that I realized you was talking about dumb instead idiot, because you used it interchangeably.
