We are all somewhere on the idiot scale.
- SonicScrub 5y agoNot only that, but we have multiple on differing levels of the idiot scale depending on the topic at hand. The biggest idiots I've encountered are brilliant people outside their knowledge domain.
- Bootvis 5y agoThe other way around I hope ;)
- SonicScrub 5y ago*The biggest idiots I've encountered are brilliant people within their knowledge domain. Exhibit A: me writing ;p
- foldr 5y agoDon’t worry :) I read it as “The biggest idiots I've encountered are brilliant people (who are [idiots when they are]) outside their knowledge domain.”
- andrekandre 5y ago> we have multiple on differing levels of the idiot scale depending on the topic at hand or even depending on the time of day, or current stress/work levels alot of things can affect the idiot scale...
- v-erne 5y agoThat's very narrow way of thinking ... I believe myself to be idiot in multiple different ways which can have multiple dimensions with multiple different scales.
- beefield 5y agoAnd the real problem is that it is only a really small set of things one person can have even mediocre competence during one lifetime, whereas the space of things where you can be completely idiot is infinite. So, as a very good approximation, we all are complete idiots.
