The phenomenon of the smart dumbass

Tom Steyer, one of the Democrats’ fattest fat cats, serves as a good example of how one can be very sharp at some things – like getting good grades in top-notch schools and making lots of money – yet still be blind to huge swaths of reality. Although whether this is proof of involuntary limited dumbassery or one or more mental/emotional pathologies is not really clear to me. Perhaps it all boils down to the difference between intellectual quotient and wisdom (or character and the lack thereof).

Sounds like our Dick Smith, whose problem is a pathological chip on the shoulder. In Smith's case he flares up whenever he hears an American accent - his mother must have had a bad experience with a WWII GI or something.

I'd suggest a case of unlimited, voluntary dumbassery. Clearly it's a very acute and pathological case of cranial rectal impaction.

Sounds like post-operational thought to me.

FrnakJ gets all scientifical and stuff to explain it.
