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.
I think I’m an knows not, knows. Unfortunately all of my bosses are knows not, knows nots.
I’m lucky to know I’m a smart dumb person, because
Is stupid stupid an option?
For many, it’s the ONLY option.
If ignorance is bliss, I’m the happiest man on Earth!
All I know is that I’m seriously disappointed to be the smartest person in a room on a regular basis.
Have you tried leaving your room?
Prep the burn unit, they’re going to need an escharotomy after that third degree burn.
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
Schrodingers dumbass.
your are probably barely average
Of you don’t know anyone you could be both
And then you’d also be the smartest smart person and dumbest dumb person.
Yes
Easy I am the smartest person I know because I don’t know myself very well.
You could be the dumbest dumb person.

Remember folks: being willing and able to admit when you are wrong is much more important and powerful than simply being right
