Come to think of it, we are pretty smart, you're leaps and bounds ahead of your fellow man for even frequenting this website. But just how are you dumb? I recently learned that the word 'folly' is an adjective, for instance, thanks, video games. It is most certainly a 'noun'. I never learned how to parallel park and I get too far away from the curb, I am 32. I know we all forgot college math and whatnot but in what ways are you reminded that you're soberly reminded that you're severely deficient in some areas?

We are but mayflies along the path of geological time. All the knowledge of the universe gained in a lifetime is but the tiniest sliver of understanding. We’re all kinda dumb, really.

I cringe almost every year at some poo poo I did or said years ago, especially in my 20s. Maybe that makes me wiser but I bet I'll find out in 10 years I said something I thought was innocuous that'll be brought up in therapy by my kids. On th other hand, I do very much acknowledge I'm wrong all the time so c'mon man give me a break.

Passive Aggreeable posted:I never learned how to parallel park and I get too far away from the curb, I am 32. 40, here. I took my driving test when I was 16, on my birthday. The lady was like "... well, you're close enough. Plus, it's your birthday!" I'm kinda okay, at it. But, yeah I'd stand out as someone who doesn't know what their doing. Also, I'd probably bash both cars trying to get out. I'll just park far away and walk.

I'm probably awful at sex with ladies. I'm also pretty much the hard 6 on the Kinsey scale, so this probably doesn't matter.

I get nervous in public spaces and go tunnel vision real hard. When I'm out with people, they'll ask "Oh my god, did you hear what that guy said to you?" or "Did you see the way that lady was looking at us?" and I never do. Once there was apparently a man angry-screaming at me through a glass window I was staring out of and I... just didn't see him? My sister was freaking out behind me. It's a wonder I'm not dead.

I have a natural affinity for mathematics, nothing crazy but just able to dead reckon pretty much any high school level maths and can extrapolate much with that information Beyond that however much of it might as well be Greek, I just have no idea what is even going on and my auto solve function just shrugs and I feel like a chimp holding a Rubix cube Also I have some wired mirroring and will write like 2% of my script backwards if I'm half assing my attention

I work in a very technical environment and I’m the only non-engineer at the firm. I’ve always been terrible with numbers and math — like barely made it through hs math — so I feel like an idiot pretty much all the time. It just doesn’t click.

Oh, and automotive anything. It's useful, I want to understand it, but I have a mental block. I can feel my brain fuzzing over despite my protests. Worse yet, I look exactly like the kind of lady who doesn't understand cars.

My friend tries to tell me she thinks I'm smarter than her. She's doing a PhD in Neuroscience. I'm a dropout. More importantly, I thought Afghanistan was in South America until I was almost out of high school, because I couldn't wrap my brain about why the USA would travel so far.

I get certain words mixed up like I can’t keep the words breakfast lunch and dinner straight, I’m always saying the wrong meal word. I call the washing machine the dishwasher and vice versa and I once called my bedsheets “bed dishes” because I couldn’t get the right word out. But my worst dumbness is my lack of a sense of direction. I don’t know if there’s a word for it but it’s always felt like an embarrassing disorder. I would get lost in situations where other people somehow instinctively knew where they were. Not being sure how to get to places I’ve been many times. It was a thing that bothered me and I had to work at being better at, but it has kept me from being adventurous. I would love to be the kind of person who could explore places or hike into the wilderness and find my way back but I know I would wander in a circle for days and die not knowing I was a few hundred feet from a road or something. Needless to say the widespread availability of GPS came along and saved my rear end. I am insanely good at parallel parking. I’ll park your car for you on a hill in San Francisco.

I am considerate to people who deserve a kick in the teeth. I take into account the opinions of some of the dumbest motherfuckers I wouldn’t trust with a butter knife. I actually trust people when they ask to be trusted. Thankfully a lot of that is changing.
