“The problem with human brains is that they are too smart to be good.”

A sentence spoken by one of my cat’s siblings

Frank, are you okay?

I’m fine

The problem with human brains is that they are so clever that they don’t understand why their brain is so clever

this is true!  There’s a lot of things that the brain can intuit before it learns how to consciously do it: like statistics when gambling!  Nature is beautiful because by happenstance it can be unconsciously smarter than the actual human mind.

I always assumed the “too clever to be good” phrase was just a way of saying something like “too smart to have consistent motives.”

Sometimes the brain outsmarts the mine, it may not be consistent, but it’s not a bad thing, Frank.

Oh, sure, and sometimes people with adhd are too smart to be self-aware. But even when this is the case, adhd isn’t a problem in itself, it’s a symptom of something else – in my case, depression.

I guess I just find it funny that people talk about “too clever to be good” and then act like “consistent motives” are what actually matters. They kind of sound like “too good to be clever”
