Thick Skin & Strong Back

 Intelligence requires thick skin, and if not intelligence, a strong back.

Appreciation Evolvement

We cannot fully appreciate the good without first experiencing the bad. Metaphorically, how can we appreciate heaven without first experiencing hell?

Intelligence, Maturity and Fire Hydrants

I lose some respect for intelligent people when their insecurities cause them to mark fire hydrants like dogs.  Intelligence does not prove maturity.

Bias Education Levels

 Knowing about cognitive biases is elementary school level.  Seeing them in others is high school level.  Seeing them in ourselves is college level. Catching and correcting them in ourselves is doctorate level.

Partial Truths

 Truth is truth, but a partial truth that leads people to untruth is worse than a lie.
