Why It’s Not Enough To Be Smart

smart: Talent is being a little less wrong than most people.
weird: Is it?
smart: It’s lucky cognitive preadaptation.
weird: I thought it was having sharp claws, like an eagle.
smart: Um... I guess that’s a possible interpretation if you can’t spell.
weird: Sure, eagles can’t spell.
smart: Apparently you have both kinds of talent.
weird: Thanks, but I already ate.
