Vivid Void (@vividvoid) — 3h
When you're actually, no-shit thinking for yourself, you feel dumb. You are genuinely in a place of not-knowing. This is why extremely smart people are humble so often. They spend a lot of time humiliating themselves.
If your thoughts make you feel smart and good, guess what? You're just spitting up what you already know in order to shore up your ego. This practically guarantees that you'll embarrass yourself.
In short: you can humiliate yourself or you can wait for life to humiliate you. The former is much smarter.
