Simply put he is wrong here. I won’t harass him about it because quite frankly I’ve never considered him very intelligent to begin with, he just has oodles of commonsense on most things, and there’s a difference. I still like what he represents to many people, but he’s getting a bit old at this point and personally I’ve moved on to DeSantis.
Best form of intelligence in my book is possessing above average common sense. That is superior to discovery of theory of relativity or expertise in quantum physics.
