    Unrelated but I always call myself dumb which “isn’t that deep” but I recently realized I do feel dumb when asking questions when in fact we are the opposite of dumb since we want to expand our knowledge and we know that we don’t know. Most people just stay ignorant and don’t want to see themselves as not knowing everything and thus they stay dumb.

    Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk and you’re not dumb!

      It’s the other side of Dunning-Kruger… You have to be smart enough to know that you’re not smart enough to know everything.
