Yeah, but you know, there are even people, who don't realize they're idiots and if, would never admit it. So many thanks to you, yo're a benign idiot. We're all benign idiots. Welcome to our club of benign idiots!

If it’s an African proverb, then why is it in English? Check. Mate.

Checkmate? Chess was invented in India and the historically best players from Russia. English isn't the original language of winning in chess aka checkmate. So my response to your "Check. Mate." is .. is .. Bingo! Uno motherf*cker. DOMINO!!

I've always derived mild amusement explaining ignorance vs stupidity. The range of reactions is interesting.

I consider myself to be 90% idiot, though due to my ignorance the percentage might be considerably higher.

Good comment. Thank you! It seems like you know what I mean. Just when I think "Well, I'm aware of my idiocy, how much worse could it be?" ... then I get an answer to that question which I thought was hypothetical. It isn't --Dammit!!

If you can spot it, you are not an idiot, you just learned something today.
Be proud of yourself for doing it, OP, not many people can do the same and it shows.

Thanks for offering support. This post was very much catharsis, not panicking or self hating. It was an outlet. Don't worry. I am actually ok and I don't really compare myself to those who don't self reflect. Rather than being proud (I'm not better than them) .. I was hoping instead the post inspired people who already self reflect to have a moment of comraderie. Cheers!!

Much love, mate.
Glad you are feeling OK.

Much love right back. Glad to know other folks are out there who think similarly! Not just human automatons. Haha
