Who would you consider to be smarter?

Well I’m having two conflicting thoughts. The first is agreeing with ATP & the second is the mathematician. When you think about it, everything is math. I’ll start out with science: you can’t have biology without chemistry, and you can’t have chemistry without physics, and physics is basically applied mathematics; therefore, all science is math. Now let’s look at writing/linguistics. Sure the ideas aren’t (typically) based on math, but they’re formed in the human brain, formed by chemical reactions which can be mathematically computed. When language is broken down into it’s basic forms, math can be used to explain the dynamics of sentence structure & language in general. Music is fundamentally math too. So in my mind, a writer may seem smarter because they can essentially humanize what some may consider the callous, yet eloquent properties that govern the universe, but the mathematician can actually understand the most esoteric concepts & ultimately understand the world we all inhabit. Just my thoughts though :p.
