RE: Learning is a journey - wisdom is that I still have much to learn.
The biggest problem with the internet and its associated platforms/social media is that suddenly everyone has become a writer and everyone thinks they know everything. Literally, even the most illiterate person is suddenly heard. I myself find it incomprehensible that someone keeps making the same mistakes and doesn't learn how to spell a word just by reading what others write. But that is precisely the problem: you can type something quickly and, of course, say that you have dyslexia, an excuse I hear all the time these days, but the truth is that the average person does not read. People do not want to spend time on this, and the same applies to looking things up. Anyone who is not curious about the truth, never asks questions, never checks anything and then looks for the answer, accepting the first thing they hear or see as true (AI answers are a good example of this), is definitely not intelligent in my opinion. For me, intelligence has nothing to do with education, because you don't learn very much at school. It is certainly possible to learn something excellent through home schooling or by watching what others do. This was also the case with our ancestors. A thirst for knowledge is a prerequisite, as is the will to learn something. Many people lack this. The general lack of interest is a good example of this.
I agree with you that the biggest braggarts and know-it-alls generally have little power. A wise person does not need this behaviour.

You raised an important point regarding the tendency of many individuals not to engage with content, which underscores the distinction between knowledge and intellect.
It is a common belief that individuals are intelligent simply because they choose to follow prevailing trends. Indeed, some do achieve success through this approach. However, I contend that such success is often not sustainable in the long term. If I am unable to validate my knowledge, fulfill my responsibilities, and reflect on my contributions, I find it difficult to attain personal satisfaction—this is an intrinsic aspect of my character.
This situation is analogous to a teacher grading examination papers without a comprehensive understanding of the correct answers, having secured a position not through demonstrated skill but through alternative means, rendering intelligence ineffective in that context. While I concur that intelligence is not exclusively linked to formal education, it is crucial to recognize that education plays a vital role in equipping individuals to discern where, how, and when to apply their intelligence effectively.
Moreover, I completely agree with your observation that many individuals today do not engage with written content, which is a concern that resonates with me deeply.
I appreciate your thoughtful engagement with my post and thank you for sharing your insights through your comment.

I've broached this topic before, including regarding Steem Curators. I still wonder how posts can be appreciated by people who don't read, don't care about reading (which is the majority), can't read, can't focus on a topic for more than two minutes, have no interest in certain topics, and never write a comment where the text they read raises questions or makes it clear that they actually understand the point. How can someone with no interest in creativity judge this? I still don't understand this at all, not even curators who never leave a comment about the text they upvote or even nominate later. There's a lot that puzzles me, but this is the approach that has been taken for years, and for me the saying "a shoemaker sticks to his last" still applies.
There are certainly people with many interests, but the average person is only on this platform (and also SC) to make a lot of money, and that means posting quickly, quickly getting a few random (or prearranged votes), and that's it.
That's why I wrote on Talkchannel @adeljose that I think communities should represent a topic, but not a country. This is the only way to find posts related to your own interests and also people who share the same interests.
I wish you a wonderful, creative day.
A big hug!
P.S. What are we having for dinner today?

I'm not sure about your sense of humour, but I think I might need to change my user ID! 🤔 Do you think 'sduttaskitchen' means I sleep inside the kitchen? 😷
As a single person, it's quite challenging to go shopping for veggies and non-veg ingredients, then come home, prepare everything alone, cook, and wash the dishes! These days, I cook less often, but that doesn't mean I eat junk food—I've been enjoying simple and easy recipes at home. I really appreciate your point; through comments, we can connect despite living in different countries. Also, from my perspective, quality writing should be valued more than quantity! I've seen many people share 3-4 pieces of content daily, but unfortunately, they often lack quality. I know some create multiple accounts just to get support with their posts, which is quite shameful and unethical. Such actions can overshadow deserving writers, and unfortunately, some even play questionable DM games behind the scenes.
