I've always referred to that as 'street smarts' - for want of a better word. People may be intelligent, but lack street smarts, and vice versa.mistermack wrote:This is one attempt to explain why smart people do stupid things :

A word after Rationalia's heart.He’s even coined a term to describe the failure to act rationally despite adequate intelligence: “dysrationalia.”

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
