I've come to realize that the upper limit of human intelligence is both surprisingly smart, and depressingly stupid. I'm lucky enough to be smarter, but also smart enough to know I'm an absolute idiot. I'm not even that smart in an IQ sense, just lucky in my experience, education, and focus. I'm smart in a particular way, but I'm not quick or even capable of many basic tasks.

I don't enjoy people seeing me as smart, because they then expect things I don't feel capable of. I don't want that pressure! I'm not that much smarter than you 😫
