From the movie Bandits. Billy Bob Thornton's character -
  • Terry: You know the hardest thing about being smart?
  • Joe: No.
  • Terry: I always pretty much know what's gonna happen next. There's no suspense.
I find the smarter people I know tend to be very cynical. For good reason, they've earned it.

Educated, yes. Intelligent? Not so much. With great knowledge comes great sorrow.

I interpreted it be that both are necessary. You can be intelligent but if not educated (either self or academically), might be aware of very little. On the other hand, we see plenty of educated people that can’t reason their way through daily life. Intelligent and educated, you’re both aware and understand it.

I’ve known a few highly intelligent kids that off’d themselves due to that understanding. 2 of the 3 left a note stating as much. Conan, was the one that hit home while in high school. Super smart kid. Went out to his favorite spot in the canyon and od’d.
