- ptero 9y agoNot trying to be critical, but I suspect that the gist comes out as "I am SO smart". If you chose a third person account you might have avoided them. Not sure, but that's my guess.

- SubiculumCode 9y agoI was indicating that my field pulls me in so many directions that I am overwhelmed.. But I see now that I didn't articulate that well.
- personlurking 9y agoI didn't downvote it but it's possibly the "r/iamverysmart" feeling of it. It exists between the aforementioned and adding value to the conversation (ie, that certain current fields require both depth and breadth).
- SubiculumCode 9y agoAll I meant that in my field we are asked to have competence in a wide range of disciplines. In contrast to the 'r/iamverysmart' and consistent with the article, I feel intimidated by those that do specialize in those things I use. I am aware of a lot, but I feel like I am pretender in all of them. I constantly come into contact with the limits of my intelligence and I am not impressed.
- Gatsky 9y agoThis is what being active in life sciences research is like unfortunately. There is no luxury of concentrating one 1 or 2 things.
- baxtr 9y agoNot entirely sure, but maybe it's your last line...
- SubiculumCode 9y agoI think I am going to sleep is indicating that I can feel overwhelmed.
