Satoshi Kanazawa explains that intelligent people often override common sense with their considerable brain power—but this isn't always a good thing.
金泽智解释说聪慧之人凭借他们相当强大的脑力经常无视常识,这并非一直都是件好事。
Smart people think in situations where they should feel, like in relationships. They may avoid the correct response because it doesn't seem rational when we all know that life isn't always rational.
聪明的人在他们应该感知的情况下思考,比如在关系中。他们可能回避去做出正确的反应,原因是当生活本身并非一直合理时正确的反应似乎也是不合理的。

摘自智力驳论:为什么聪明的抉择并非一直高明
Intelligent people, however, have a tendency to overapply their analytical and logical reasoning abilities derived from their general intelligence incorrectly to such evolutionarily familiar domains and, as a result, get things wrong. In other words, liberals and other intelligent people lack common sense because their general intelligence overrides it. They think in situations where they are supposed to feel. In evolutionarily familiar domains such as interpersonal relationships, feeling usually leads to correct solutions whereas thinking does not.
聪慧之人倾向于将他们的分析能力和逻辑思维能力(这些能力源于他们不适当的一般智力)运用到那些我们一直熟悉的领域,结果却是让事情发展到了错误的轨道。换句话说,自由派及其他聪慧之人都缺乏常识,原因在于他们的一般智力忽略了常识。他们在应该感知的情况下思考。然而,在大家一直都熟悉的领域里,比如人与人的关系中,感知通常会让引导我们找到正确的解决问题的方法,思考却不能。这种依赖超常智力的倾向在聪明的人沉受压力时也会让他们栽跟头。他们更有可能会在压力下窒息。太聪明了甚至还会阻碍自身创造力的发展。
So smart people are better at arguing their own views but they're not necessarily better at understanding where others are coming from.
乔纳森哈德特指出研究表明高智商提高了人的自我辩卫能力,但是却不能让我们更好地理解他人的处境。因此聪明的人更能为自己的观点辩论,但是他们却不一定更能理解他人的观点。
Perkins found that IQ was by far the biggest predictor of how well people argued, but it predicted only the number of my-side arguments. Smart people make really good lawyers and press secretaries, but they are no better than others at finding reasons on the other side. Follow me on here or get updates via email here.
摘自公正的思想:为什么好人会由于政治立场和宗教信仰的不同而分为两派 珀金斯发现智商的高低是辩论好坏的最大预言者,但它预言的只是我方论点的数量。聪明的人确是做优秀律师和新闻秘书的好材料,但是他们在寻找他方理由方面却并不比其他人强。珀金斯总结道人们将智商投入到了支持我方处境而没有充分公正的考虑整个大局。关于聪明我们还知道些什么?哪些人是聪明之人?有趣的人还有自由派者。我们认为秃顶的人聪明,有时候你真的可以通过他们的外表来分辨出他们聪明与否。愚蠢是可以传染的,世界可能真的会变得更愚蠢。母亲是一个人智商高低的最大预言者。有办法使你的智力上升。据认为80%的哈佛学子都是家里最大的孩子。(你可能不会羡慕哈佛学子,因为他们的性生活很糟糕)聪明的人更有可能发展婚外情。不要假装自己很聪明,那只会让你看起来很蠢。
