Remember folks: being willing and able to admit when you are wrong is much more important and powerful than simply being right
I'm not sure if I'm the stupidest smart person I know, or the smartest stupid person.

I’m lucky to know I’m a smart dumb person, because
- I know several, and have encountered many, truly smart people.
- I’ve known a great many clever dumb people.
- I know my father, and believe genetics is a strong influencer (not determiner).

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

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

Is stupid stupid an option?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For many, it’s the ONLY option.

And then you’d also be the smartest smart person and dumbest dumb person.

Easy I am the smartest person I know because I don’t know myself very well.

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 feel like there should be one more line and a change:
He who knows, and knows he knows, is smart; beware him.
He who knows, and know he knows not, is wise; follow him

Whoa…this is why he became the one. He became self aware, and then he got an office job later in his 30s.

One who knows not, and know they know not is wise. If you claim to know, you’re either making stuff up or using a nonrigorous definition of knowledge.
