I think if you set a house on fire the people who run out could be considered smart while the people who stay inside hoping the fire doesn't notice them could be considered dumb.

You would think that, but that is not how pain and suffering works and it is dangerous way to think.

Have you ever met a perfectly kind, intelligent person stuck in an abusive relationship? I have, many times unfortunately. Smart people are living lives stuck in burning houses they appear completely capable of leaving all over the world, right now, it should break your heart. This is one of the basic reasons empathy for others and ourselves is a necessary calling we ignore at our peril.
