Pick Your Poison
Suppose you need a helper, but face two imperfect candidates:
1. A smart person who only cares about himself.
2. A stupid person who only cares about you.
Under what conditions would you prefer #1? Under what conditions would you prefer #2? Why? Please be specific.
Here‘s my default answer, but I can picture some good exceptions.
