@ProperOpinion's question I bet that smarties are more likely to find things counterintuitive because dumb people like me are able to invent soothing explanations on the fly for just about any upsetting discontinuity in our worldviews14 replies 3 retweets 56 likesShow this thread -

> dumb people like me don't adopt obviously false humility ; it's less obnoxious to say "yes, I'm smart" than to say something so obviously counterfactual which ends up conveying exactly the same message

valid I agree with you that saying "I AM VERY SMART" would be stunningly declasse. The analogy I'd make is you're at NFL training camp. Sure, you shouldn't tell the other 6'4", 2% bodyfat guys "I AM STRONK"...but also "I'm weak, so what do I know?" is ... JUST as conspicuous ?
