Clever CUKkers

[MarillionFan]

Now that sas has admitted he's actually not that clever, I was thinking about who on CUK comes across as being bright.

My shortlist:

NickFitz (obv)
MTT
Old Greg
Zippy

All of them are (or appear to be) what dodgy would dismiss as 'lefties'.

So are the lefties cleverer than righties? Or do my leftie inclinations skew my judgement?

So you've selected four poor people who don't have a pot to piss in between them. Really clever then.

So cleverness is really just how much money you have? I suppose its like class these days.

Everything can have a price put on it.

Well you could argue that intelligence is as intelligence does. Depends on your motivation in life, I suppose.

We do actually have one between us. We've built an invisible maglev system to shuttle it around on a just-in-time basis.

That is a fair point. Ability to play the game and blag your way to riches has got to count as a cleverness.

I'd describe that more as cunning than clever.

That's a kind of cleverness. I think we could all agree that MF is clever in a Jim'll fix it kind of way.

It describes the vast majority of people running corporations and firms, public and private, these days.
Which begs the question: is political skill the best sort of "intelligence" you can possess?

That sounds a bit 'below the belt'.
