    Peope

    Did you make that typo on purpose? Is this some kind of test? 🤔

      Perhaps a hint about which category the OP is in?

    I used to think I was stupid, but then Trump and Covid happened and I realized I’m relatively brilliant.

    What I think I’m hearing is there are “2” kinds of people, those who know they’ve fucked up, see it, own it, and remain humble.

    And those who aren’t as humble and are, instead, confident and possibly unaware.

    There’s more here, though. Calling oneself stupid isn’t humble. It puts the focus on oneself. Keeps it there. The occasional flitter that swings and reminds us that we’re all just trying… Cool. Dwelling? Less cool.

    I’m not talking about a continuum. I’m talking about leaving the “stupid” line and being less focused on that. And more focused on being decent, virtuous and not a chump, all at the same time.

    Also, some “confident” people are very self aware and aware of their inadequacies as they see them. They just don’t let that stop them from engaging. In short, all may not be as it appears.

    I know I’m a stupid. But at least 50% of humanity is probably even more stupid, so…

    People have called me smart. It’s far from the truth. I’m so fucking stupid, it’s ridiculous.

    We all feel stupid I think. Even the smartest ones, because they question themselves a lot.

    But we are all fine. You play the deck of cards you get in life.

        Thank you! I like it too… Let’s enjoy this life instead of worrying about stuff we can’t change. :)

      Apparently it’s compared to the all powerful God brain in orbit around Saturn.
