That response didnt make much sense to me :(



Who's smarter? Money manager guy who does a good job of getting paid in a system that is universally regarded as broken and overpaying everyone involved to do a crappy job, or the professor who reinvents some area of science but only makes 90k?

Depends on your definition of smart.


Which definition are you using and what's the alternative definition and what are the pros and cons, that way only I guess can we find if the rich guy or the smart but relatively poorer guy is smarter.


It's the equivalent of saying "Yes, Madam, and you are ugly, but I will be sober tomorrow." If you're smart but not rich, you can try to get rich. What do you do if you're rich but not smart?


Spend the money on entertainment, probably.


hire 10 smart people


An action that would imply intelligence, I'd say.


That reply is the non-subtle way to call someone stupid.
