I don't think this is just about smart and dumb. It's true smart people need to speak up more than they do, but what usually determines what happens in the world isn't thinking - it's power, and status. Most of life and work is just an extended version of high school, with the same status rubbish that goes on there. https://www.theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/2016/jun/06/smart-people-stupid-things-simple-answer
