P.D. Ouspensky wrote a book called "In Search of the Miraculous". This book is basically about a Russian Guru "G.I. Gurdjieff". I read this particular book about 30 years ago. But one of the things that he preached/taught was that there was a necessity to have a balance ( scale if you wish). On one side "Being" and on the other "Knowledge".

"Being" meaning how we communicate,have fun, get pissed with friends,our social aspects. "Knowledge" referring to all the learning that one does and in some cases (Like maybe Condoliza.)even more than the "normal" Joe.

Gurdjieff stressed that to be whole as a person one must have a balance of the two. If the scale is tipped to much on the right or to much on the left than harmony is displaced.
In Cond.... case, she is very well educated (knowledge) but doesn't have a fu..........ing clue (being)what is happening out side of her own head space.
