I found in my recollections an old discussion once I had about the
differences I see between intelligence – or maybe wisdom, that one with
knowledge – and cleverness. several considerations, positive and negative
aspects and some links to distinct professions came up, specially as regards
to designers.
in the end, the formal structure I saw for representing my ideas was exactly
what did dave, although it was made of spaghetti.

maybe. it took me some time to find ordinary pasta
not to bother those hungry just like I'm right now.
