Ohh my. Where to start. First you are confusing intelligence and knowledge. Or wisdom if you will. Intelligence is the speed at with you can process, retain and recall data. Knowledge it the data you have retained. Anyone can overthink something depending on the number of options and the implications of those choices. As you said people of high intelligence do more "thinking" in the same amount of time as a person with a lower intellect.
And your analogy of a computer and an Android phone is wrong on so many levels I won't even start.
Intelligence and efficiency are not related in anyway this is more a measure of focus. In most cases focus can be learned intelligence can't.
Yes, there seems to be a correlation between high intellect and mental illness. Mostly this is depression and bipolar disorder. Also there is evidence people with higher intellects receive less of a benefit with social interactions.
Yes, I agree there is a stigma against 'intellectualism'. And I have been called privileged several times. Which if you knew me you would laugh. But I don't give it much credence. If someone wants to hate you they will find a reason.
Hey I was into the whole 'correct thy neighbour' approach too but then I found that people stopped wanting to talk to me and it got old. I'm a dunce at STEM tbh, I wanted a superficial picture and I got one, and it did what I wanted it to, so I'm happy. Secondly... everyone else seems to be using 'intelligence' as a fuzzy term, so I will too. I charge 35 euro per hour for private English lessons. I won't correct their lexical errors for less.
As for intelligence vs efficiency... working with intelligence under its 'fuzzy' definition... yes, they're not directly correlated. What I had meant was this: more reflection = more mental effort per action = slower task completion = less efficient worker.
Well, we differ on anti-intellectualism I guess. I've been rejected from enough job interviews, seen enough jealousy, had people prejudge me as a 'snob' because of my university and had overt abuse directed at me... It's a reverse snobbery thing, in most cases I've seen.m
Just want to say as for anti-intellectualism we are on the same page. We both seem to understand the stigma attached to using your natural talents in the work force. My brother got me a job once. When I out preformed him, he quit right their on the spot. I was turned down from Mc Donalds for being overqualified.
What I was trying to say I just gave gave up caring. Almost every person I have ever met in the working world is either lasy or a back stabber, sometimes both. Very few people have a work ethic anymore. No, I'm not an overachiever I just think if you are at work you work, to the best of your ability. When you start something you finish it. ect. Most people don't get that.
