The MIT vs. WWE contrast feels like a false dichotomy. MIT represents systematic, externalized intelligence (structured, formal, reductive, predictive). WWE or Pixar represent narrative and emotional intelligence. We do need both.

Also evolution is the original information-processing engine, and humans still run on it just like microbes. The difference is just the clock speed. Our intelligence, though chaotic and unstable, operates on radically faster time and complexity scales. It's an accelerator that runs in days and months instead of generations. The instability isn’t a flaw: it’s the turbulence of the way faster adaptation.

emotional intelligence has been debunked

I think that’s a bit of a false take. The earlier point wasn’t pivot on a specific definition of EQ (pop-psychology take), but about the contrast between systematic intelligence (like MIT) and the storytelling ability (WWE) needed to create a coherent story that makes sense. Whatever you want to call it, we clearly need both.
