Scary Smart. Spooky Smart. Freaky Smart
So I've been in and out of college for awhile now. I've accomplished a few things here and there and learned some minor tidbits about the world and reality that have been slightly useful in my life.
In my quite interesting, albeit difficult academic career, I have observed something that I consider to be a fairly valuable observation when it comes to education. I have noticed that there are three primary degrees of intelligence that have high market value and utility in academics, the private sector, and government/military institutions.
They are the following: Scary smart, spooky smart, and freaky smart. Scary smart, being the lowest degree of these essential forms of intelligence, is actually easy to identify in a human subject. They are the type of guys who when they can get their hands on a computer or smartphone it doesn't take long for them to hack into bank accounts or government databases and steal buckets of cash or high profile state secrets to sell on the black market to terrorists or foreign governments.
Or they are just scary good at calculus and their fluid mechanics class and use their wise-cracking skills and dry sense of humor to score points with the ladies at one of Bozeman's wannabe clubs on your average Friday night.
Spooky smart is a little different than scary smart, and its a little higher up on the hierarchy of intelligence. It can be hard to identify at first. Spooky smart people often cloak themselves to infiltrate groups and institutions. The "sleeper cells" as the hollywood spy fiction writers would call them. They are a lot less likely to show off than the scary smart people, but when they activate, what they say and do can make the unsuspecting observor's breath run cold and the hair on the back of their necks stand on end, often forcing them to inhale quickly and exhale slowly just to keep themselves from having a heart attack. Spooky smart people are the ghosts in the background who are shrouded in mystery, but every once in a while they whisper a metaphorical "boo" with something they say that sends a chill down people's spine and spooks the herd a little bit.
Freaky smart people are the pinnacle of the hierarchy of intelligence. These people are so damn smart, you start to question if they are even human. They seem other-worldly, like an angel or a deity, and they are the types of people who end up opening portals to other realms of the infinite existence and summoning extra-dimensional militaries to help them either conquer earth or liberate it from the grasps of the human predators who prey upon the innocent and subjugate the freedom-loving peoples of the world.
Or they just find a cure for Covid-19, get labeled as a hero, play the hero card to win the presidency and wind up with a smokin' hot wife, use their freaky smarts to revolutionize the U.S. economy and make us economically untouchable, conquer the rest of humanity and place the American flag atop every building in every city on earth, only at the end of their first term reveal they are actually the anti-Christ and the dragon known as the devil, who leads the whole world astray, and the thousand year darkness commences.
To sum up my thesis, scary smart, spooky smart, and freaky smart people have the most economic, social, cultural, and military utility compared to most of the general population. If the United States is going to survive as a culture and a nation, we need people of these three primary forms of intelligence making the important decisions for our future.
Thank you for your consideration, and God bless!
