>>12308315>>12310343We've grown up, for the most part, being told that intelligence was, still, and will ever be our go-to way that leads to success/being the best, since it allows you to do anything much more efficiently than others. Now we've also long associated success with wealth and/or fame.
What we don't realise is that academic/scientific intelligence doesn't guarantee you any of this. Only three or four famous scientists are billionaires. I reckon none of them acquired their wealth through scientific effort alone.
/sci/ doesn't make you rich. Try /biz/.
