    All I know is that I’m seriously disappointed to be the smartest person in a room on a regular basis.

    if we define smart people to be anyone smarter than you, and stupid people to be anyone stupider than you, then it’s actually both. Or neither. idk

    Old saying:

    He who knows not, and knows not he knows not, is a fool; shun him.
    He who knows not, and knows he knows not, is simple; teach him.
    He who knows, and knows not he knows, is asleep; awaken him.
    He who knows, and knows he knows, is wise; follow him.

  • I’m lucky to know I’m a smart dumb person, because

    1. I know several, and have encountered many, truly smart people.
    2. I’ve known a great many clever dumb people.
    3. I know my father, and believe genetics is a strong influencer (not determiner).
