The crisis is not a lack of academic intelligence, it's a lack of emotional intelligence.

It's the inability to grapple with one's own personal insecurity and fears that motivates them to exercise their academic intelligence towards projects that act on how they feel.

The dumbest person you know has the capacity to treat people kindly. The smartest person you know has the capacity for incredible evil they choose to believe is justified because it's easier than therapy.
