SMART — Why Outsiders Are the New Geniuses

What if everything you were told about intelligence is wrong?

In this episode of Smart Funny Tortured, I break down why “smart” in today’s world has nothing to do with test scores or titles, and everything to do with cognitive flexibility, lived experience, and the outsider’s perspective.

As AI reshapes the future, it’s not the specialists who will thrive, but the generalists. The misfits. The pattern recognizers. The ones who remix logic with intuition and scars with synthesis.

Drawing from thinkers like Geoffrey Hinton, David Epstein, and Douglas Hofstadter, I reveal how your nonlinear, imaginative, and experiential mind might just be the most valuable kind of intelligence in a post-AI world.
