Are You Highly Intelligent and Highly Irrational?

St. Avitch is going to argue that what makes you foolish is you're highly intelligent and highly irrational, says David Frum. The very processes that make me adaptively intelligent are the same processes that also subject me to self-deception, he adds. He basically argues: What we're testing when we're testing people's intelligence is we're testing their capacity to deal with computational limitations. And this lines up again, also you've heard me mention this, measures of intelligence correlate with measures of working memory or blah, blah, Blaise Cerniac gives you all that argument.
