You don’t need to read between the lines here because everything about this quote applies to the ‘jeet experience wholesale: it’s a facsimile, a rough approximation; and their concept of intelligence, therefore, has to be an idea straight out of the TVTropes pages–you have to imagine somebody quipping hard, being highly abrasive, but ultimately arriving at a sort of a correct conclusion in the nick of time–that’s the Indian Ideal, that’s what mesmerizes them in Now You See Me 2 and the Wolf of Wall Street.It’s… weird to have somebody who’s so unbelievably much better at classical chess… When he plays rapid and blitz, you can tell that at times this guy does not have that intuition to play good moves quickly, but he calculates unbelievably well …he has considered stuff that I didn’t even think about, ‘how did he have time for this?’ I think he just calculates non-stop, and then in classical it works out quite well for him, but you see in certain games, like, he just makes very strange positional decisions.
This attitude could never work on the individual level, but if we’re talking about the fecal/fungal growth haunting the shores of Ganges… the infinite monkey theorem is a statistical fallacy, so you change it up a bit and, say, ram Shakespeare into the red dots of 2 billion walking stomachs... then you could, theoretically, have a few of his passages quoted back to you by them as if it’s something that was never been heard before.
