Estimation of Intelligence

[Darkstar]

I have found intelligence to be overrated in most instances. Those who claim to be intelligent tend to have a grandiose sense of self worth, while those who are truly intelligent claim to know little of anything.

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”


― Socrates

While I would not go as far as Socrates did, he does have a point. There is a certain value in understanding what one does not know, just as there is in understanding what one does.
