Do you have smart friends? I’d like to think that I do. They work in a range of professions, some traditional (teacher, doctor), some creative (music agent, graphic designer) and some that I will never truly understand, so I just never ask about (”sustainability consultant”, whatever that is).
They went to good universities and got good degrees. They’re funny, which I’ve long believed requires at least a little intelligence (with the exception of some rare outliers, like Joey Essex or Kermit the Frog).
