INTELLIGENT PEOPLE NEED TO BE ALONE

According to a study, intelligent people need more time to be alone. Evolutionary psychologists from Singapore Management University and the London School of Economics and Political Science studied more than 15,000 young adults. They concluded that, while people generally feel happier when they spend time with others, very smart people are an exception to this rule. Intelligent people are happiest when left by themselves. The study said this could be because of evolution. Smarter people can more easily adapt to their surroundings in the modern world, so they don’t need close relationships to help them with food and shelter, like our ancestors did. Their other theory is that smarter people are more aspirational, and want to spend more time working towards their goals, rather than socializing.
* So The Big Bang Theory got it wrong all those years.
* At least SOMEBODY enjoyed the lockdown.
* All I know is, I can’t wait until the show’s over so we can all go out to lunch together.
* I must have been the smartest teenager in the world, because my mom used to always knock on my door saying, “Why are you spending so much time in there alone?”
* This explains why humans keep getting dumber. Smart people don’t go out and hook up.
* Evolutionary psychologists? Yeah, a highly evolved level of BS.
