我花了一周时间思考为什么我如此讨厌知识分子。以下是两张表格，帮助我理清思路。如果你对这些有更好的术语，请分享。
| # | 持久 | VS. | 顽固 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 对问题不理性 | 对过程不理性 |
| 2 | 好奇且有动力 | 虔诚且有动力 |
| 3 | 有创造力 | 有纪律性 |
| 4 | 开放的性格 | 容易被压垮的性格 |
| 5 | 难以坚持 | 容易坚持 |
| 6 | 充满活力但不确定 | 充满活力但确定 |
| 7 | 独立思考 | 随波逐流 |
| 8 | 冒犯 | 防御 |
| # | 天真 | VS. | 聪明 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 新颖 | 令人印象深刻 |
| 2 | 自我怀疑 | 自信 |
| 3 | 普世 | 局部 |
| 4 | 奇怪 | 有吸引力 |
| 5 | 痴迷 | 充满激情 |
| 6 | 独立 | 强势 |
| 7 | 简单 | 复杂 |
| 8 | 幼稚 | 精明 |
| 9 | 高度利他主义 | 低度利他主义 |
备注：
1. 我们不可能在不带有一点顽固的情况下保持持久，持久对于发现新领域（想法）是好的，但对于维护它们却非常糟糕。当我们失败时，最初的顽固冲动可以防止船只因持久的创始人们所允许的怀疑而倾覆。
2. 天真的人与好奇的孩子比聪明的教授有更多共同之处，这解释了为什么大型语言模型在发现方面不如在生产力方面表现出色。与人们的看法相反，真正的突破并非来自聪明人。通常，这是一个后来成为内部人士以提升声望的学术界外部人士（马基雅维利、阿维森纳、爱因斯坦）。聪明人不希望规则改变，因为他们花费数十年时间掌握旧规则。
3. 聪明人是天真孩子的最佳盟友，不是因为他们相似，而是因为他们将天真的成功误认为是天才。

inspired by a PG essay<p>I spent a week thinking about why I hate intellectuals so much. Here are 2 tables that helped me navigate it. If you have better terminology for all of this, please share.<p>| # | Persistent | VS. | Stubborn |
| 1 | Irrational about Problem | Irrational about Process |
| 2 | Curious & Driven | Devout & Driven |
| 3 | Creative | Disciplined |
| 4 | Open Personality | Overwhelmed Personality |
| 5 | Hard to Keep Going | Easy to Stick to |
| 6 | Energetic but Uncertain | Energetic but Certain |
| 7 | Independent Minded | Herd Tolerance |
| 8 | Offensive | Defensive |<p>| # | Ingenuous | VS. | Intelligent |
| 1 | Novel | Impressive |
| 2 | Self Doubtful | Self Assured |
| 3 | Universal | Local |
| 4 | Weird | Attractive |
| 5 | Obsessive | Passionate |
| 6 | Independent | Dominant |
| 7 | Simplistic | Sophisticated |
| 8 | Naive | Shrewd |
| 9 | High Altruism | Low Altruism |<p>Notes:
1. We can't be persistence without being a little bit stubborn, persistence is good for discovering new territories (ideas) but very bad at keeping them. When we fail, that first impulse of stubbornness is what keeps the ship from collapsing from the doubt allowed by the openness of persistent founders.
2. Ingenuous humans have more in common with curious kids than smart professors, which explains why LLMs are not as good at discover vs. productivity. Opposed to what people think, real breakthroughs don't come from intelligent people. Usually, it's an outsider to academia made insider later to boost prestige (Machiavelli, Avicenna, Einstein). Intelligent people don't like it when the rules changes because they spend decades mastering the old rules.
3. Intelligent people are the best ally of ingenuous kids, not because they are similar but because they mistake ingenuous success as genius.
