    Peope

    Did you make that typo on purpose? Is this some kind of test? 🤔

      Perhaps a hint about which category the OP is in?

    What I think I’m hearing is there are “2” kinds of people, those who know they’ve fucked up, see it, own it, and remain humble.

    And those who aren’t as humble and are, instead, confident and possibly unaware.

    There’s more here, though. Calling oneself stupid isn’t humble. It puts the focus on oneself. Keeps it there. The occasional flitter that swings and reminds us that we’re all just trying… Cool. Dwelling? Less cool.

    I’m not talking about a continuum. I’m talking about leaving the “stupid” line and being less focused on that. And more focused on being decent, virtuous and not a chump, all at the same time.

    Also, some “confident” people are very self aware and aware of their inadequacies as they see them. They just don’t let that stop them from engaging. In short, all may not be as it appears.

    I used to think I was stupid, but then Trump and Covid happened and I realized I’m relatively brilliant.

    I know I’m a stupid. But at least 50% of humanity is probably even more stupid, so…

    We all feel stupid I think. Even the smartest ones, because they question themselves a lot.

    But we are all fine. You play the deck of cards you get in life.

        Thank you! I like it too… Let’s enjoy this life instead of worrying about stuff we can’t change. :)

    People have called me smart. It’s far from the truth. I’m so fucking stupid, it’s ridiculous.

    Stupid compared to what? Other people or some theoretical ideal?

      Apparently it’s compared to the all powerful God brain in orbit around Saturn.

    Do you think Einstein was one of these two types of people? How about Sagan? How about Oppenheimer?

      Oppenheimer was the first kind, then evolved to the second kind after the bombings.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
