Old saying:

He who knows not, and knows not he knows not, is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows he knows not, is simple; teach him.
He who knows, and knows not he knows, is asleep; awaken him.
He who knows, and knows he knows, is wise; follow him.

I feel like there should be one more line and a change:

He who knows, and knows he knows, is smart; beware him.

He who knows, and know he knows not, is wise; follow him

It's really not hard to just turn all of his characters into one man's story. John Wick is Neo after he retired back into the Matrix

One who knows not, and know they know not is wise. If you claim to know, you're either making stuff up or using a nonrigorous definition of knowledge.

I think I'm an knows not, knows. Unfortunately all of my bosses are knows not, knows nots.

Remember folks: being willing and able to admit when you are wrong is much more important and powerful than simply being right

I'm lucky to know I'm a smart dumb person, because

  1. I know several, and have encountered many, truly smart people.
  2. I've known a great many clever dumb people.
  3. I know my father, and believe genetics is a strong influencer (not determiner).

if we define smart people to be anyone smarter than you, and stupid people to be anyone stupider than you, then it's actually both. Or neither. idk

All I know is that I'm seriously disappointed to be the smartest person in a room on a regular basis.

You reached the end

I'm not sure if I'm the stupidest smart person I know, or the smartest stupid person. | Spyke
