This is how you know people who know very little outside their own field. The tweet reeks of arrogance wearing intelligence's clothes. I once had a lecturer like that. He believed anyone who studied anything besides biochemistry or medicine had wasted their time. "Why would you go to school to learn accounting? Any fool can count money. Why would you go to school to study theatre arts? You don't need school to be a jester." Those were some of his exact words. A few years later, I took part in a stage play with theatre arts students at the University of Ìbàdàn. I couldn't help but respect them. Some were juggling three or four productions at once and still showing up to lectures. I was in just one production, and trying to memorise my lines while life threw its usual wahala at me was already a lot. If that one production stretched me, I can't imagine carrying four. Whatever else those students lacked, intelligence was not on the list. It makes you wonder what else such people get wrong without knowing it. The man who thinks accounting is just counting has clearly never tried to reconcile a company's books after someone else has hidden a theft in them. The man who thinks acting is just standing on a stage and talking has never tried to make an audience cry on command, eight shows a week, using only his voice and his face. The bottom line is this: intelligence shows up in many forms, and the moment you decide only your own form counts, you've already proven you don't have enough of it to recognise the rest.
