What multiple degrees?
I, like many in the 99.5 intelligence percentile, was not able to sit in a class of relative idiots, including the instructor, for any significant length of time.
To us, degrees are like a suit and tie, a uniform you can put on if you spend the time and money buying all the pieces and arranging them just so.
In a practical sense, degrees are a useful way to demonstrate to a potential employer that you were willing to comply with rules and follow instructions for years on end.
I am not that guy.
In a room of 200 people, I'm the smartest person.
In a room of 1000 people, there will be three others as smart or smarter than I am.
That's just the way it is.
And, no, I don't think I know everything. That's your department.
How intelligence works is that the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
And the less you know, the more likely you are to mistakenly think you know everything, and the more likely you are to wrongly accuse highly intelligent people of thinking they know everything.
