You contradicted yourself in your own post. If someone is blowing themselves up with a microwave, it’s not because they’re too intelligent.

Smart people can do stupid things

Facts. Being creatively intelligent or curious is almost counterproductive for the sake of survival. People can have a lot of thoughts and ideas but not necessarily the right ones or they cant arrange them correctly/coherently

I think it's smart to stay out of bs with people, especially if you're female though. You talk about "social skills" but wtf does that even mean ??

Women get a lot of grief from socializing. Sure you can network, have empty smalltalk, and talk to people for sales and networking but actually socializing ?? is often just primordial fucking hell for a woman. I knew so many in my life who had shitty friends and boyfriends and constantly endured controlling behavior or constant subtle bullying everyday from "friends". I knew people who completely lost themselves and became shells of their former selves for the sake of "friends". I don't have to watch brainless suburb soccermom "friends" to know it's low tier hell to participate.

You're going to have to sell me the idea that its really "smart" and rewards you as a female op.

Sure there are some people who find really good friends but even those friends often drift apart and can be one sided.

Word. The whole 'social skills are important u guiz, emotional intelligence is cool' schtick goes out to a small pool of assholes. The type of people with no theory of mind – the type of people who have literally never considered why they shouldn't hurt others.

There's nothing wrong with focusing on booksmarts. Women are so, so discouraged from being intelligent in a way that's threatening. I worked at a summer camp for a few years, and I noticed that there was a certain age cutoff (late 4's, 5) when girl children having interests like math, robotics, airplanes, and so forth started making people uncomfortable. Even though these girls were often some of the smartest in the class.

It's okay to study and be smart. Just don't be an intentionally malicious asshole. But, I don't think anybody should need to tell girls that. The social conditioning is everywhere… we know.
