My father was a very intelligent man, even headed a government department at one stage, but lacking in common sense.
Soooooo, was being intelligent better than having common sense?
I don't care if someone has 5 degrees and knows a load of stuff if they are dumb as a rock when it comes to real life. An ex friend of long standing was extremely intelligent and was an editor earning over $90 an hour, but smoked weed for 40 years and it made him bat doo crazy- lost his family, lost his house, lost land he owned, lost me. So much for being intelligent.
