Someone with a phd in math have shown themselves to be a smart in a particular way.

That doesn't mean that they have good judgement, wisdom, empathy or all kinds of other traits which might be considered "smart".

Undeniably, and as per my observation.

The challenge for us is how to engage people who are clearly smart, but lack the same concerns that many of us have developed.
