That’s one way of saying it.

Here’s another way…Idiots are not only unaware of their own idiocy, but they are likely to think that everyone else is an idiot as well.

So I ask, how do you know for certain that YOU’RE not an idiot? Besides having your obvious unflappable belief, you may even have a dozen examples in your head of your competence that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt in your mind that you are not an idiot. However, how do you know that you are not falling prey to the “self-fulfilling prophecy” bias and only registering the 10% of the times you are doing competent things while ignoring the 90% of times that you do incompetent things?

It was definitely obvious to me that idiots would be oblivious. But what stopped to make me think was the fact that I may also be an idiot. If you don’t have the sense to at least honestly ask yourself that from time to time, then that may be the strongest evidence yet of your true status.

Humbly Yours,
Captain Obvious

Idiots don't know they're really idiots?<br /><br />Thanks, Captain Obvious! So….. Idiots don’t know they’re really idiots?

Thanks, Captain Obvious!
