Because we have to be careful how we define what SMART means. Is SMART and INTELLIGENT the same thing? What does CLEVER mean? What is GENIUS?
I knew a person who had a photographic memory and got straight A’s for most of their subjects except for mathematics and physics, which they almost failed at. This person could do well at subjects requiring mostly memory, but couldn’t cope with subjects requiring mostly THINKING and LOGIC.

So, does this drug make you a better knowledge hoarder, or a better thinker?
