the assumption that you understand everything,


Posts: 2504

what I learned today by watching some "woke" people. this especially exists in western culture- the assumption that you know everything, will lead you to think there is no more to learn, or be unwilling to humble yourself to admit there is more to learn, and you will learn nothing new and forever be ignorant a knowing nothing, because you spent your precious time believing you already knew. this is time you will never get back. admit you know nothing compared to how much there is to know, and be open to learning more and you will become someone who can help others learn as well. admit you never know everything, and never just assume you know more than someone else for silly reasons, and you will have a better life

I know, comprehend, and understand substantially more than most people. In fact, there has been a long time since anyone taught me anything. I teach myself. I'm certain I'm smarter than the top 0.1% of people. It's difficult for normal people to understand how I view the world.

I mean this genuinely. I dislike being this smart. Your ego wants to strike me and others like me down. That's why you come up with these nice-sounding but fallacious theories about it somehow being wise to assume that dumb people also have something to share. They don't. And that's fine. People love me for being smart, and I'm not apologetic about it. I genuinely feel I am so much smarter than those around me. People love me for that, because I'm also generous. But to say that I should somehow humble myself so that dumb people's egos arent hurt.... I'm not going to sacrifice my integrity.

Explains how you scored so highly in Grandiosity.

They don't? 

They don't.

Ah okay, thanks for clarifying. 

Not sure if I agree with that though.

 Wow thank you, that's interesting. In a way that is true, because no one can ever achieve perfection, so in reality "achieving perfection" is only being under the assumption you are perfect, and therefore you never strive for improvement

I have learned substantially more than you have that way.

Everyone worth anything will score highly in grandiosity.

Think about it then. Let me know if you need any help.

Here's the issue: If I were to follow your method and only listen to people I think in advance aren't dumb, then why should I listen to you? 

If you turn out to actually be smart, I'd have to put aside how dumb you present yourself to hear you out, but by your methods why would I bother to in the first place when you don't look intelligent?
