I used to think I was very intelligent. At about age 30 I realized I don't know [expletive].

This is where I am and I wish I'd gotten here sooner. Not that it's really had any effect yet.

im here working, and looking at someones tax returns...they have a discrepancy of 2000$, so i tell them they will need to amend the returns...they do it, and when i get the amended, its 6000$ over what it needed to be...

plus, people don't read instructions, they don't sign where it clearly says to sign...its so annoying


and im in now way saying im an einstein...but c'mon, some of this stuff is incredibly basic

This revelation came to me when I was about 20.

I continued to have this revelation every day in grad school (and still). Outside of my small sub-section of theology, I'm as average-ish as anyone, maybe less than average.

I know I am not the most intelligent person, but the OP is correct. Most people are [expletive] stupid!!

My mother always said I was the smartest idiot she's ever met...I think there's some truth to that.

You guys need to re-read the "18 kids" thread from yesterday. Someone said stupid people have lots of kids and intelligent people have few if any. So get used to it. That's why stupid people are a majority now. I've known I'm stupid for a long time, I've come to accept it and enjoy being good at it.
