IQ-like intelligence has little correlation with the ability to make rational decisions, and in fact, the smarter a person is, the more likely he or she is to fall into the “intelligence trap” of disastrous irrationality in order to better gather evidence to justify himself or herself. I thought this was a very important lesson: smartness is not the same as the ability to make the right decision. I am just trying to give you an idea, but “reasonableness” is instantaneous and fast thinking with arithmetical processing power. On the other hand, “reasonableness” is slow thinking, looking at things from various directions, without bias, and with a high level of imagination. In this light, it is not surprising that the two do not correlate. Fortunately, the latter ability can be acquired with training. https://twitter.com/yopparai_chmist/status/1397157787939971084?s=21
