I’m saying I’m dumb just to “sound like an intellectual”. But saying I’m dumb actually doesn’t make me sound like an intellectual, like you think I think. I just am dumb, like I’ve been saying all this time, genuinely, with no audience other than you on a dead thread.
Whew. That’s a pretzel if I ever saw one.
Have you ever considered that there might be people out there who don’t think they’re as smart as you seem believe that you are?
I’m not an intellectual. I’m a 40-something man who has seen some shit and learned a lot, but never had the luxury of a college education. Of course I’d like to improve myself, who wouldn’t? For me that means acknowledging that I’m not as smart as I wish I were.
That said, if you wanna exchange addresses we could be real life pen-pals. I’m enjoying talking with you. You’re not as dumb as you think I am.
O God you went through my comments history.
I’m not trying to quantify my intelligence.
But clearly, I am smarter than you.
You don’t do your due diligence on your conversational partners? Ones you waste this much time on?
Clearly you are smarter than me! But then, I already told you that I’m a moron.
You say that you’re a moron thinking that the self-deprecation makes you sound like an intellectual.
But you really are a moron.
So you’re a mind-reader and smarter than me?
I’m not in the habit of saying things I don’t mean. How does self-deprecation make one sound like an intellectual, exactly?
I am not a smart man. I do my best to get smarter every day, but I’m not inherently intelligent.
You’re doing it again the self-deprecation isn’t going to help you here you’re still an idiot.
Can’t even answer a direct question.
How does self-deprecation make one sound like an intellectual, exactly?
It doesn’t. Which is my point.
So let me follow your logic, then.
I’m saying I’m dumb just to “sound like an intellectual”. But saying I’m dumb actually doesn’t make me sound like an intellectual, like you think I think. I just am dumb, like I’ve been saying all this time, genuinely, with no audience other than you on a dead thread.
