Rethink Smart

I'll do a deep dive on this at some point or maybe even pitch it to an editor, but I feel one of the most dangerous things is calling someone 'smart'. Or at least, when it is used compared to others around them. Because we seem to have a very limited view of smart that tends to be linked to high grades, wealth, and strong mathematical or scientific skills. This downplays some very crucial skills and intelligence that shine in those who don't fit the criteria
