Recently I have been confronted in conversation, in the hallway, at the coffee shop, with this question or claim … Who is the smartest person in town? I do not have an answer for that.
I am not proposing a poll or something to that effect, but I think I shall publicly ask this question … who are the most substantial minds you have met, here in town, either professionally or personally?
What makes them so?
You see, the claim is often that the truly smart people do not choose to serve. They receive enough support and challenge in their workplace, and they receive enough positive reinforcement in their professional lives. So, often times the smart ones do not run for office.
So, it is two fold, who is the most substantial mind in town now, and who is the smartest person you have ever known?
