not really smart but I like smart people they are interesting always full of ideas and good at what they are doing/ talking about

Yeah sometimes, but then I realize that there are too many ignorant people on the planet already and that questioning everything is part of finding the truth. The truth, to me, is way more important than being a blind sheep.

Not me.
Ignorance breeds unfounded fears, wasted time, and early death.

In some things I'm smart....
In other areas.....I have a long way to go to make the
smart list.

Well, thank goodness there is something I don't have to worry about! LOL

I used to think that.

Not anymore. You can never be too smart.
But You can experience and understand
some things earlier than You matured
enough to get over them.
.
The only thing You can do is work
to accept these things.
Everyone can do it in a different
way. I found black humor and
habituation shock autotherapy
among things that worked for me.

What? Become a Mindless Democratic Drone?? I think not!

It would be simpler, yes. With a simple mind there is no concerning oneself with the complications of the world and it becomes easier to simply believe nutcase conspiracy theories.

It woul be nice to be unaware of worrying questions.

i feel that there's something about being smart, eating the apple from the tree of knowledge, that makes me wonder if becoming too smart, knowing about the carnal pleasures as well as knowing about our own demise, created the strive that was experienced by adam and eve.

i learn a lot from everybody except the checkout clerk on aisle 13 at wal-mart. i wonder about that saying, "ignorance is bliss". maybe it is. i ought to be the most blissful man in the universe, but, i'm not. hmmmm.

No. But I sometimes wish I were smarter because there is so much in the world that is totally illogical that people embrace. If I were smart enough, I could figure out why. I do wish sometimes I knew less about something/someone. We are often overwhelmed with TMI and it becomes a burden! :) ((hugs))

I love knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge, so do i believe that life might be simpler if i was less intelligent? Yea life might be simpler but i wouldn't trade my Intelligence away just for a simple life, it might be easier to believe in some things if your not quite so smart, but i love knowledge....
Can you get some idea of a person's intelligence based on their Q&A's and comments on AB?

Does the ability to think on your feet indicate intelligence,knowledge or glibness? Can you tell them apart assuming they all make sense?

You're reading Do you ever think you are too smart? ...that life might be simpler if you were less aware and cognizant?
