The education system has pushed confidence over competence, everyone believes they are special and know what they’re talking about.
I know a guy who hasn’t had a job in over a year just because he’s taking a break to play video games and other such non constructive things. I’ve never met anyone who acts like he knows so much about so many things but can be so loudly wrong. But his obnoxious overconfidence gets him attention. Literally will tell you his motto is “fake it until you make it”. Well, he’s faking plenty…
I have worked with some really (really) smart people during my career. “I don’t know” was an acceptable answer to a question. It had better be followed by “but I do know who does know the answer”. This often led to the people who actually invented the technology or wrote the software. This, for example, is how I came to understand the calculus behind the computation of compound interest.
AHHHHH, the JOYS of EXPONENTS...IF ONLY PEOPLE understood that COMPOUND INTEREST is NOT ones friend when taking out a Mortgage or STUDENT LOAD!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
Yep, I learned early as well. A senior analyst did a half hour of the calculus of exponential functions for the deep background of how it works mathematically. The answer as applied was to calculate an average daily rate and apply it to the account balance every night!
One trait I notice with super-smart people ---- is the ability to say "I don't know".
💯
I have noticed the reverse of this, stupid people tend to think they have all the answers.

Just look at most civil servants.
Look at doctors.
safe and effective

The more you know ----- the more you realize how much you don't know.
