Thinking is as evenly distributed as the need to think.
A farmer, for example, using fine-tuned intelligence and well-honed experience to observe the behavior of his cows, does not need to comprehend whether the Earth is round, the universe revolves around relativity, and how galaxies are formed. A traditional financier does not need to know any of that either to pursue asset diversification techniques of chasing the S&P500.
To the farmer, the financier is a greater fool of milk production. To the financier, the farmer is a greater fool in producing consistent asset investment returns.
Despite their undoubted value to each other, they are both greater fools for not understanding the higher-order normalization of nature’s truth. A normalization of truth they should comprehend to asses whether the value they produce yields renewable value and benefits the collective interest of humanity.
