>>16211516One thing I never see realized or stated out loud is that IQ and cowardice/bravery/spine are two completely different character attributes that need not be connected to each other at all. You can be high IQ but be a coward and hence just remember a ton of facts but never possess any critical thinking skills because anytime your brain starts to stress over contrarian anything you just give up cause you're a spineless coward and go back to the easy mode of not questioning anything.
That's Linus and guys like him. Intelligent, but intellectual cowards.
