"If the friggin smartest people in the world want to get together and use their intellectual gifts to play tricks on the rest of us.."

They are far from the smartest guys in the room.. not the best and brightest but the most brazen, conspiratorial and corrupt with fables created by media about their superiority.. don't buy their fantasy.

The Gift of Fire article recently published was clearly done by some brilliant people. I was a C student in my major at college and could tell when people were a weight class or so above me.

I will say this, there are cases where it doesn't matter. Being smarter only comes to play if the problem domain is sophisticated enough for it to matter. They may have AI that can beat a human at Go, but can't do much better than forcing a tie at Tic-Tac-Toe against a 6-year-old.
