People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.
I am not very smart, but I recognize that I am not very smart.
When somebody tells you they're not very smart, they're saying exactly the opposite.
M: Is he smart I: She yes very smart sees right through me M: In my day we valued blindness rather more
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
