Smart Isn’t Always Wise: Lessons from 'The Intelligence Trap'

Imagine a world where being smart doesn’t always mean you’re wise. This is the world David Robson introduces us to in "The Intelligence Trap." It's not just a book; it's a journey into the sometimes absurd paradoxes of human intelligence.

Robson takes us on a tour of the intellectual elite's missteps. It's a bit like watching a detective who’s brilliant at solving crimes but can’t find their glasses when they're on top of their head. Intelligence, it turns out, doesn't immunize us against irrationality.

Our brain, that sly fox, often tricks us into thinking we’re smarter than we are. Robson, with a twinkle in his eye, shows us the circus of biases and overconfidence. It's like being the smartest person in a room that's on the wrong floor.

But Robson isn't just about pointing out our intellectual pratfalls. He gives us a map to navigate the maze of our minds. His tools, like moral algebra, are a bit like having a good old-fashioned compass in an era of broken GPS.

The book’s praise for slow thinking is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, the best answer is a thoughtful pause. It's like choosing a leisurely stroll in the park over sprinting on a treadmill going nowhere.

Robson shows us that sometimes, the crowd is wiser than the lone genius. It’s a bit like realizing that the best ideas at a party often come from the group chatting in the kitchen, not the lone philosopher brooding in the corner.
