>Being into hentai and discussing niche memes doesn't make one smart
im into neither of those things and i dont even have to bring up philosophy or esotericism to realize that most 'normal' human beings are not particularly interesting or intelligent. of course being unusual doesnt always equal being smart, but it makes you more likely to step out of your mental comfort zone and approach ideas that a 'normal' person would find crazy or off-putting due to the social programming in their heads, and being willing to entertain fringe ideas that are inaccessible to most people may make you 'smarter' in the process, because it takes effort to understand them, it 'trains' your brain and reading comprehension, makes you more open minded and shit. i feel like this is a reasonable position, unless you wanna endlessly debate me on what being 'smart' is in which case i no longer care about this conversation
