This is very accurate and explains a lot:

“Cognitive phenotype” is a good phrase. Saving that for future use.

Summary:

• High curiosity: need to close information gaps.
• Strong cognitive control: holding multiple views at once, resisting easy answers.
• Meta-cognition: ability to think about your own thinking.
• Theory of mind: ability to get inside of another’s state of mind.
• Tolerance to uncertainty: low reactivity to not-knowing.
• Low automatic conformity: obviously.
• High openness: of course!
• Enjoyment of abstraction

In other words: mental depth.

Note: No, philosophy is not dumb, it just has to be done properly. She didn’t do it properly. How do you know if you did it properly? God. You realize God.
