The Curse of Smart People (2014)
My pet theory: much of 'gut feelings' and intuition boils down to having our internal black box predict the behavior of other people.  When you are 'average', this often simplifies to reasoning about what you would do in the same circumstances, which is relatively easy.  If you are 3 standard deviations out, you'll have to compensate that consciously, which is inaccurate and difficult and slow.  This is like how UI designers have difficulty to discern which parts of their UI are hard to use, while the end user could do so effortlessly.<p>Smart people end up having to run SmartPerson + NormalPersonVM(pre-alpha) in parallel.  Normal people just run NormalPerson natively.  Then they complain about bugs and slowness ('smart people are out of touch with reality!', etc.)
