RE: "I'm Definitely More Intelligent Than The Average Person"
That is a tricky question as far as I'm concerned. No matter how confident I might be as an individual or how damn sure I feel about my intelligence levels, I always think about how that exactly might be the case with dumb people as well. I mean I don't thimk dumb people realize they are dumb, if that were the case then they wouldn't be. So all this means that I might just be another idiot out there regardless of what I think of myself. I still wouldn't be able to tell.
As you pointed out, too many people think they are smarter than average. I guess my own opinion regarding my intelligence doesn't count.
Thought provoking read, have a good day!
Other people's being wrong doesn't discount your own thoughts. Most people will grasp at straws to mock the intelligence of others. They'll laugh at someone who thinks NY is the capital of the US, for instance. So what? I never laugh at people like that. What matters to me is that a person is open-minded enough to understand something after it's been repeated to him a few times in the simplest terms. When that happens and a person still sticks to their guns, that is stupidity to me.
