Like, I know TWW is super smart or whatever.

But do you ever worry about being dumb?

5/10/2011 9:15:18 AM

Sometimes I feel like I'm less intelligent than I used to be. I do read Chit Chat a lot though. I mean, maybe I'm starting to worry right now.

5/10/2011 9:26:36 AM

No, I never worry about being dumb.

I do, however, worry that my uber brilliance has left me lacking sense and ability to take care of myself properly.

5/10/2011 9:26:41 AM

if you worry about being stupid, you're probably not as stupid as you think. it's better be open-minded and ignorant than close-minded and "intelligent"

5/10/2011 9:28:56 AM

i feel like a mormon most days i'm around where i work. but don't really worry about being dumb

5/10/2011 9:29:25 AM

Anytime I feel dumb I just read some TWW threads and I feel much better about myself.

5/10/2011 9:31:51 AM

I've never felt like a mormon

5/10/2011 9:32:48 AM

hahahahaha

moron

5/10/2011 9:32:49 AM

i am afraid i am going to become less intelligent the further away i get from having graduated.

especially since most corporate jobs are mind-numbingly boring....I'm afraid my brain is going to turn into jello. To counteract this, I'm trying to learn a language in my free time. Hoping that will at least keep my brain awake

5/10/2011 9:42:25 AM

^

what language?

[Edited on May 10, 2011 at 9:43 AM. Reason : i am trying to learn spanish on my own....havent made a lot of progress ]

5/10/2011 9:43:17 AM

I'm moreso afflicated by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome

5/10/2011 10:03:42 AM

i, too, feel like i have gotten significantly dumber since college.

be it the the booze, exhaustion, too many internets, or lack of stimulation.

or combination of all four.

5/10/2011 10:05:18 AM

^^Wow, never knew that was an actual syndrome. ha

I don't feel dumb, I just feel smart in limited areas.

5/10/2011 10:06:49 AM

i feel like i have become increasingly stupider over the last five years.

it's like that simpsons episode where lisa thinks she is getting dumber, but then finds out its only the male simpsons

5/10/2011 10:59:12 AM

a lot of times i feel like i should be doing more to stimulate my brain. i can't do math at all anymore. i've never liked math anyway i do read every night, so at least that's something. i also look up every little thing that pops into my head, so i've learned a lot of random crap since owning an iphone lol

5/10/2011 11:03:04 AM

As a blonde chick, it makes better business sense to work smart but play dumb.

It's the Jessica Simpson way.

5/10/2011 11:05:26 AM

yes to the OP

5/10/2011 11:05:56 AM

i'm definitely not as smart as i used to be. i'm wiser, more intelligent, sure; but when it comes to that blinding, instantaneous conceptualization and wit that i used to have when I was a kid, well...that edge has dulled considerably


[Edited on May 10, 2011 at 11:11 AM. Reason : yes to the OP]

5/10/2011 11:09:58 AM

i am dumb but i dont worry about it...guess thats why i am dumb

5/10/2011 11:15:12 AM

i surround myself with extremely smart people, i feel dumb all the god damned time.

[Edited on May 10, 2011 at 11:15 AM. Reason : grammar]

5/10/2011 11:15:25 AM

yes

and i constantly stress about never actually graduating college

5/10/2011 11:16:19 AM

My acumen has shifted from being kinda smart all the time to being really smart for a few 20 minute stretches a day and dumb for the rest of the time.

It works for me.

5/10/2011 11:16:51 AM

man hell no

and i'm a good-looking motherfucker too

5/10/2011 11:18:26 AM

during my freshman year all the people i hung out most were park scholars. my girlfriend, my roommate, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's roommate were all parks. not to mention the dozen or so other park scholars that we routinely hung out with. not being a park was pretty ego-deflating that year

5/10/2011 11:21:21 AM

AM I WRONG

5/10/2011 11:22:11 AM

not when you type in all CAPS

5/10/2011 11:25:20 AM

i'd say one would be treading dangerous ground merely considering such a question

5/10/2011 11:25:21 AM

if i ever feel dumb i just read some youtube comments and then remember it's all relative

I'm super dumb, so I never have to worry about being it. I KNOW

5/10/2011 11:42:22 AM

Every time I learn something new, it seems like it overwrites something I already know that I hardly use.


Whenever I want to go back to the old information, the information is no longer there.

Very frustrating.

5/10/2011 2:03:13 PM

5/10/2011 2:05:22 PM

I work with a ton of very bright engineers, I am young so I often feel dumb by comparison. I have learned a ton and feel I am getting smarter for the time being.

5/10/2011 2:38:11 PM

I feel like I'm getting smarter, but my common sense is getting worse

if that makes sense

5/10/2011 2:47:09 PM

I can relate, but I think the common sense reduction is due to increased apathy (in my case).

5/10/2011 2:51:02 PM

It's never occurred to me that I was dumb...

but perhaps not as gifted as an adult as I was as a child


so I took a battery of tests a few years back... turns out I'm a-ok.

5/10/2011 2:55:02 PM

I've been feeling very intelligent lately.

But then the other day I was in the car and I caught myself making farting noises and laughing at it and I ruined it.
