I agree that emotionally-oriented people are not automatically stupid, my point was about what EAs value. If an emotionally-oriented person happens to be also intelligent, then that has certain benefits for the EA movement, of course.

A person who cares about playing status games might be intelligent but still harmful to the EA movement.

I have a strong probabilistic estimate that there are currently a substantial number of people in the EA movement who care about status games. I'm willing to take a bet on that.
