I disagree. Most people seem dumb, but there are select few which are incredibly genius.

Like, I heard of a model theorist who produces quality papers every month or so. Then there is also Andrew Wiles, who proved Fermat's last theorem through labyrinth of Langlands. The complexity and depth of the field is just insane.

basically everyone is smart about some things, and a few people end up in situations where they can apply themselves to the thing they're smart at.
