MODERATORS
I find useful not to think both myself or others as smart/not smart, but wise or wiser. Being smart is not always wise. Playing dumb may be wise at times. Wisdom goes way beyond smartness, as it's a mixture of kindness, experience, sensibility, and virtue.
You need both IMO. Wisdom without intelligence can make good intentions fall short. But wisdom is very underappreciated.
