Is being rich the same as being smart? In this powerful speech, Illinois Governor and billionaire JB Pritzker challenges the idea that wealth automatically means intelligence.
He explains why cruelty is not a sign of brilliance but rather a failure to evolve past primal instincts. Many believe that using power to dominate and manipulate is a sign of strategic thinking, but Pritzker argues that true intelligence comes from empathy, creativity, and the ability to rise above fear-based reactions.
He highlights how society has been conditioned to admire those who weaponize cruelty while overlooking the deeper wisdom found in kindness. This speech offers a thought-provoking perspective on leadership, success, and what it really means to be intelligent.
