I R STOOPID

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I've spent my whole life being very confident in my own intelligence, and this is the first time I've been embarrassed and intimidated to be added to a list of smart people.

[hoopla]

Sorry if I embarrassed anyone.

[Reginald Ret]

Got it.

It has nothing to do with you as an individual.  I just don't like your kind.

Pixels on a screen posing as Humans?

No.  Humans.  I have extremely good reasons for hating humans...But I don't consider them to be a collection of phosphor dots.  If you think that the people you are talking to are just pixels on a screen, then you are also a wretchedly defective human as well.

Or possibly merely mentally stunted. Children pass through a stage where they are unable to grasp the concept of acting from a distance, or really any sort of theory of mind, so it's possible that people who see other people online as "just pixels on a screen" are just developmentally delayed.

I thought my tongue was in my cheek, but it seems i have bitten it off.
Oh well, at least i cut myself on sharp wits. Just imagine being cut by mere humans.

Your whole "too clever to be sincere" schtick isn't clever. FYI. It's tedious, juvenile, grating, and reeks of insecurity. t's also reminiscent of narcissism, wherein the narcissist feels too fragile to allow their true self to show so they create a persona of who they wish they were. It's a strategy that leads nowhere productive, and I hope you get over it because I used to like you.

I don't think it's anything to apologize for, it's just interesting that the consensus seems to be "oh, no, I'm not as smart as THOSE GUYS."

That was painfully accurate.

GOOD.

The real, sincere you is more likable and valuable than any face you could put on, authentic flaws, vulnerability, and all.

Although I think that is a terrible metaphor, I will run with it to the extent of saying that like any instrument, the more you practice the better you get.

Of course, there are some inherent limitations to the instrument itself; not everyone is born with a Hamburg Steinway, but then again not everyone who is born with a Hamburg Steinway learns to play it well.
