It seems to me that there is a confusion of terms, in case I am not being sarcastic. To be ‘knowledgeable’ means to possess information and data on various subjects, it is the accumulation of facts and details learned through education, reading, or experience. It is like having a vast archive of information in one's mind. On the other hand, being ‘intelligent’ implies the ability to apply that knowledge effectively, solve problems, think critically and adapt to new situations. Intelligence is not just about what you know, but how you use what you know to navigate and understand the world effectively.

There is a film called ‘Limitless’ 2011. Edward ‘Eddie’ Morra (Bradley Cooper) is an aspiring writer suffering from chronic writer's block, but his life takes an unexpected turn when his ex-brother-in-law Vernon Gant (Johnny Whitworth) introduces him to NZT, an experimental, revolutionary drug in the form of small pills, which allows some people to tap their full cognitive potential.

Would you serve as a guinea pig…?

This is not the case. Someone can be incredibly intelligent, and do nothing with it. Similarly, someone can have a huge amount of knowledge, and do nothing with it. Intelligence doesn't speak to application - only application speaks to it. Perhaps if the intelligent that do nothing knew the right thing, they might start to apply their intelligence ;)

Absolutely.
