Trying to act smart and actually being smart are two different terms. For instance acting smart just to engage more people by using negative strategies is actually stupidity.

Now comes to your reasoning, I respect the part where you actually tried to use rationality but would you care to elaborate but before you do that let me tell you one thing. Reality has nothing to do with our understanding on it, also reality exists in more than one dimension and form, one can see a thing with countless perspectives yet he wouldn’t understand the true nature of what’s going on as singularity is way bigger than we have ever imagined and our brains are too small to understand any of it, this is not it, I’m starting to believe that we shouldn’t even attempt to understand such realities and refrain ourselves from using such approaches none the less reality stays intact in the dimension UNKNOW. Try to warp your head around what I’ve just written. Lastly, it’s okay to be ordinary, it never hurts you or anybody else in a big run. Being arrogant is what makes you not likable, think about that too. Have a great day ahead. Poka.
