I get the idea that most people aren't wise. They know how to do calculus, but they don't realize that life is not about how much money or math problems you can do. Ahhhh life, what a strange joke.

Haha, I see what you mean. Reminds me of a friend I have; she's a very capable psychologist. But rarely have I met anyone who's at the same time so naive. Actually, it's kinda cute.
More like frightening. People like her are the drones produced by the educational system.
I LOL my ass off at the number of "trained professionals" who don't know SHIT.
There is a lot of compartmentalization going on in the world and especially America today. Everyone knows ONE thing and doesn't want to deal with *anything* else and instead hands that responsibility to others.

I'm aware how it may come across with others when I speak of a 'capable psychologist' who also happens to be naive. But I must stress the point that she really IS capable. I mean, let's be honest, psychologists (and psychiatrists, medical doctors, judges, statesmen, etc. etc.) are only human after all. I know this girl (woman? we're all getting older, which means that in my perception, the number of girls on the planet is increasing exponentially at the cost of the number of women  ) privately, and not so much professionally, which is also very true for my ex, who also happens to be a psychologist. And while you can be very aware of someone's shortcomings (lack of general knowledge, naiveté, bad temper, take your pick) in a private setting, they may act very effectively in a professional setting. It would be dishonest to expect some sort of super-human mental strength from any sort of trained professional. Fact is that some (many) people actually function better and feel better after having been treated by people like my innocently naive friend. Given that fact, I really cannot put someone like that down as unqualified or insufficient.
After all, in the end, none of us know shit. There's just some people who are slightly more aware of some sorts of excrement than others. And if that allows them to help others in whatever setting, then that is valid enough for me.
As to the original subject, I notice that an interesting question as come up: would you be able to live with someone who is smarter than yourself? Or the other way around? Tantalizing question, and also one that tends to confront me with some of the less desirable traits in my own character. Because I'd have to say, no, I can't imagine having a steady, long-term relationship with someone who is more knowledgeable all-round than myself. And while it's a fact, it's also a fact that makes me aware of another fact, which is that somewhere deep down, I'm apparently a pretty arrogant, nasty and creepy little bastard

However she doesn't seem to think ever, like use her brain in real life.
I don't get it.
:S
Being dumb but good at uni isn't odd. I bet shes anything but math/science major, something like psychology, business, or social work. I'd be more surprised if she were smart. I was in the same situation recently and I just couldn't get over the feeling that I was on a different level than her and had to leave. Makes me seem like a dick prolly but fuck it my life I'm living it for myself.
