Finland did some research on just how smart business owners were. Their IQs were at the upper end of average - 115. Average is between 85 and 115. Genius begins at 140.

Now my crowd of thinkers come in at around 160/180. I won't say they are rich - that's not what they're about. They're about writing books about what's happening to our earth. They're doing research. They're doing the science.

But never tell a business owner that he isn't that smart. He measures his smartness by his money. Yup. The mafia, the cartels, the drugs, the Bezos, they all use shitty means to make money. Making money doens't make you smart.

It makes you unethical, and when you have made a lot of it and the rest of the world is in a bad place and you're planning on going to Mars, it makes you a dickhead as well.
