Would you rather be an idiot on a team of intelligent people or the intelligent person on a team of idiots? (lemmy.world)

You come up with a contrived scenario and very specific situation just to justify being an idiot. No. Knowledge is not the same as being intelligent, idiot is not the same as dumb. Its incredible how you guys come up with stories just to justify being the dumbest or only idiot in the room. An idiot means its not able to learn anything. Also why is the focus on learning something so high in these replies here? And who says I'm trapped in this room forever?

An intelligent person can learn from the failures of idiots. That's why he is intelligent. An idiot can not learn. That's why he is an idiot.
