How educated should you be?

People know more than you in the bubble of your social circles and university. I can guarantee your probably already in the top 10% of the country intellectually speaking, it just doesn't seem like it because of all the incredibly smart people around you

Power is more important than intelligence. You can be a genius with no friends or a retard who owns a lake house. Or something inbetween. As long as you have the wits about you to deflect or reply to a shit test, it doesn't matter. A Ph.d and a janitor could slay given the right attitude and circumstances.

You must realize that every single person out there is better than you at something. It's your job to get them to teach you their secrets.

If you feel inferior, that's on you. Why do you think you need to know more than everyone about everything?

Plus, if you are out working in a scientific field, you are probably working with the top 1-5% of educated men out there. I consider it a joy to work with my peers and my betters. You have no idea how much it sucks to be the smartest person in the room.
