Letter: Not very clever

Published 15 May 2013

From David Brock

Your article on stupidity (30 March, p 30) reminded me of psychologist Arthur Janov’s observation that intellect and intelligence are not the same thing. “It takes a fine intellect to design and build a nuclear bomb,” he said, “but it is not a very intelligent thing to do.”
