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.
