IQ and commercial acumen are not necessarily linked. If it were the most intelligent people in the world would be running all the big companies and governments. You know, people like; Alan Sugar, Tony Blair, David Cameron, Rupert Murdoch, George W Bush, all renowned for their towering intellects!! Look where having Gordon Brown, a man who I think really is highly intelligent, as Prime Minister, got us.
Not everyone in the world, including the brightest and most able, are driven by a lust for money. Look at all the brilliant researchers in universities all over the world, look at all the other brilliantly talented people we all know individually who have chosen to devote their lives to teaching, medicine, charitable causes and every other profession known. Even among the determinedly unemployed their are highly intelligent articulate people, who just can not be a***d, to do day's work.
Is not Boris himself a classic example of where a high IQ and common sense part company?
