    https://youtu.be/5Peima-Uw7w does a fascinating - and extremely excellent imho - job of explaining this further. “Intelligence” is domain-specific, and does not translate to what we might rather call by a different term (wisdom?). It also dips into Emotional Agility as a source of why smart people will do these incredibly dumb things. Regardless of what others say, as in however they misuse certain terms, this video tries to convey that biases exist as traps to fall into along the way - which at its core is undeniably true on its face - and reminds us that we ignore such at our own peril.

    Edit: its TLDR is: always stay curious folks! There is no better bulkwark against biases, while in contrast those who stick their head into the sand will never ever find the truth even if it walks up and introduces itself to them (which ironically, it very often does? yet misinformation is often an excellent “cure” against finding the truth of things).
