This quote is the low point of a neat little trick: "Smart people are smart enough to know that answering that question will not make them unique. They answer questions which require analytical and critical thinking rather than just recall or memory." This smart enough to know how to play the system is NOT intelligence, it's inviting people who want to play smart to behave like a sociopath. And that is sickening.

All these tricks to be smarter, or get smart responses. What are they good for? They all focus on how to get things done, get your career going and result in terrible advice inviting sociopath behavior. Yes, read that again. Smart people may not jump at simple questions, but not because they're smart. They're just considering what you mean with 'bread'. and what perspective might be valuable here.

Really, what a sad world, where we put our intelligence to work, to score better results for companies that love sociopaths and psychopaths at the top. The more intelligent article would have been: how to create a more authentic lifestyle, that helps us save the environment and, okay, because it's your job, the company? Really.
