I'm increasingly dissatisfied with "smart guy" archetypes or personality tropes. "The Sage", "The Magician", "Spock", "Athena", etc.

Identifying yourself with being "rational" or a "thinker" seems like a bad move, for this reason. Reasoning & thinking are valuable skills. They're not identities or archetypes. Any "kind of person" can think. The uniform you wear can't guarantee you're right.

Identifying as an "interesting" person seems like another trap. Sometimes the truth is basic and not that interesting. Sometimes it makes sense to be passionate, not "interested" in a detached way. Sometimes courage or effort matters more than new ideas.
