You said that what makes you sad when we talk is that I am intelligent and you’re not.

I clumsily tried to explain that my skill is limited to manipulating language constructs and that it does not necessarily follow that I am equally apt at manipulating concepts or at deducing them from the amount of language that I have in stock. Intelligence is a convention, one that doesn’t partcularly interest me. We should be talking either way beyond it or way outside of it.
