10 Things Intelligent People Avoid

Here are ten things intelligent people avoid and what smart people do differently than everyone else. From the habits and traits that set these individuals apart to the nuances of wise decision making, we highlight the pitfalls highly intelligent people consciously avoid, and we take a deeper look at the essential role of soft skills and emotional intelligence in their interpersonal relationships.
Intelligence is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses a range of mental abilities, capacities, and skills. While there isn't a single universally accepted definition, intelligence generally refers to the ability to learn, reason, problem-solve, and adapt to new situations.
Whether you're looking to enhance your cognitive abilities or just want a quick peek into the mindset of a truly smart person, you’ll find this video insightful.

    Small talk with strangers is not "meaningless" even though it may feel so at times. It helps foster a sense of community. Too many people in this generation don't know how to interact with or have a pleasant exchange with someone they don't know and too many people nowadays won't even say hello to their own neighbors.

    Absolutely. Define "meaningless" , BTW. It's not meaningless if a stranger smiles and thanks you for brightening their day - and vice versa. It's a pretty arrogant dismissal of making a difference, however small, and you might even learn something. Intelligent people are inquisitive and like learning - fancy that.

    The one thing I'd say that would actually be affected by intelligence from this entire video was the last one, unnecessary risks, which is the only one here where the outcome is proportional to your intelligence. Here's why many of the rest either don't correlate at all, or do not cause the outcomes on the list at all; intelligence doesn't correlate with reduced ignorance as intelligence can often be used incorrectly, that is to say, it's easier to rationalise bad positions when you're more intelligent. Reduced conformity also doesn't correlate with intelligence, intelligence is not something that makes you follow truth, be more individualistic, etc. Intelligence may help you develop those positions more often than people who are less intelligent, but it doesn't mean you would hold these positions because you are intelligent, this is a causation/correlation fallacy. For example, disgust is a severe illness of the mind, it causes people to develop moral systems based on fallacies and easily refutable claims. Such feeling is common among all people, regardless of intelligence. Feedback also doesn't correlate, as people who are more intelligent tend to also be more disagreeable. It's as though the author of the video watched a few movies where the protagonist was an intellectual and thought "that's how those people think!" when in reality, they're isolationists who are disagreeable. Pertaining to superseding emotion for better decision making, again, not correlated, as well as "mindless media consumption", sorry, intellectuals do it too, it's not based on intelligence.

    I suppose I must be (semi)-intelligent, then. Excepting #'s 1, 4, and seven, I fit ll of these to a T. In the case of #1, I engage in all sorts of small talk. #4 -I have a bad habit of taking things personally even when it was not intended to be so taken. #7 -I tend to let emotions get in my way too much. By qualification, I have manic-depression and these are all very typical for this illness. On the other hand, I totally disregard societal values and march to the beat of my own drummer. I am exceptional at thinking outside the box.

    I cringe at calling myself "gifted" or intelligent., however I am a "neuro divergent" person that is a fixed divergent/convergent thinker. I constantly have intrusive rational creative thoughts even today. I truly think academics or modern IQ tests are not a good gauge for true intelligence. I mean you can ask a child what there interests are and get a better prediction for intelligence. I know I watched adult themed movies like "Kramer vs Kramer" and "Society" and even the 1988 "The Vanishing" when I was 5 and 6. I sat down and followed every bit of them. I suck at academics too. I am a multi instrumentalist and high level darftsman(Art) too. Maybe that says something.
