Empathy and Seeing Around Corners

Who is the smartest person you’ve ever known? “Human empathy, and the ability to see around corners” are what separate the mere “commodity” of a high SAT score or GMAT score, from true world-changing intelligence.

I watched Jensen Huang being asked who the smartest person he’s ever met was.

He smiled — and refused to answer.
Instead, he questioned the question itself.

He said what we call “smart” — coding, solving complex problems, optimizing systems — is quickly becoming commoditized.
AI already does that better.

That struck me.
Because it means intelligence is no longer about how fast we think — but how deeply we understand.

Jensen said the future belongs to those with emotional depth, adaptability, critical thinking, and the ability to navigate ambiguity.

I couldn’t agree more.
In a world where machines learn patterns, humans must learn perspective.

Maybe being smart isn’t about knowing more…
It’s about feeling and deciding better.

What do you think — are we ready to redefine intelligence for the AI age?
