You DID feel dumber than what you are feeling right now, there's no "I've never felt dumber in my entire life." .

  The more I know the dumber I feel when I make a mistake.

  It isn’t that I am dumber, but I do feel dumber.

  Counterpoint:

  As I get older, I gain more knowledge and wisdom. As I gain more knowledge and wisdom, my perspectives develop. As my perspectives develop, my comprehension of my own limitations grows as well.

  Ergo, old me saying that old me is dumb has way more weight than younger me saying that younger me was dumb, because youmger me had shit for brains and barely any idea of what it means to be dumb. But older me knows exactly how much of the dumb there is!

  In short, if I say I’ve never been dumber, you’d better fukken believe I haven’t!:))

  I may not be dumber than I was in the past, but when I was dumber I may not have had the ability to know how dumb I was being.
  If I’m smarter now I may know how dumb the mistake I’ve made is and therefore feel dumber than I have felt in the past.

  I’ve been dumber, but that was when I felt smarter.
