Hazarth925963dHonestly, if you can be a genius just be a genius. If not, be at least smart, It's an useful skill

Hazarth925963d@jestdotty "It's smarter to not be smart" is an oxymoron. It's always smarter to be smarter, without exception, thats just plain logic. The thing is that being "book smart" is not smart. If you are infact a proper genius then you already know how to cheat, but you also know stuff.
It's separate types of intelligence a proper genius (not a savant) will have high points in both. If you only know how to cheat you're not much better than a book smart person, you both lack something.
Being "smart" or rather wise is about both having skills, knowledge, knowing how to apply them and know where your limits lie. You need to be all-around high-level so to say. So to tell people to focus on one over the other is short sighted.
Learn how to cheat and lie, but also study and polish your other skills and talents. Most of all, know your limits.
remember kids, instead of being a genius just cheat!
