Stupid Steemians? No Way!

It was INCERTO editor Nassim Taleb who coined the term "Intellectual Yet Idiot". Taleb's influential article was published in 2016. In summary he says such individuals are characterized by the following:

1. Education: Almost always attend “elite universities,” such as the Ivy League or Oxbridge. NOTE: Most students at these schools are not IYIs, but a decent percentage qualify.
2. Industries: Tend to have experience mostly in academia, the government, “think tanks,” and the mainstream media.
3. Skin in the Game: None. They advocate for or against policies from which they never feel the negative effects, making such advocacy meaningless.
4. Media: Like The New Yorker and TED talks (ugh).

And, most importantly, the IYI never deadlifts - they never really start from nothing and create something original.
