i'd actually say that the dumber you are, the more oblivious you are to the fact that you're dumb.

The way I see it, being smart is being able to work with a particular subject *without* work. I'm not saying that it is never needed. I'm saying it is the ability to pick up things with less effort than the average person. In my opinion, nearly anything can be picked up with the right amount of work and effort, which is why I don't classify that as being "smart".

i'm intelligent and wise, but i never act on it
does that make me a retard?

I bet if I did an IQ test I'd be considered clinically retarded, so no I'm not smart.

You almost have to be smart to play RTS games. So basically everyone who said no plays WoW

50% of the population is below average. Granted much of that 50% can be clustered; but it's something to legitimately ponder.
Honest self appraisal is one of the hardest things to do.

This poll lacks a witty third option.

I dont know if this is gonna go out arrogant but im not trying to make it sounds like arrogant just basically stating facts:
I feel like since im capable of pointing out that most people are dumb i feel like im smart?
I mean just take a look at our society, its a big mess and no one does anything about it. If people were smart they would care about the more important stuff. Instead they just care about who will be the next to get voted out in the next episode of their favourite vote-someone-out-serie.

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing, for when I don't know what justice is, I'll hardly know whether it is a kind of virtue or not, or whether a person who has it is happy or unhappy.

Just because you play RTS does not mean you're smart, it just means you probably suck shit at RTS games, IE me.
But then I did use to play WoW...

I use logic above anything but debating anything with someone is out of the question. I suppose being uneducated is one of my (major) flaws.

I'm not only smart--I'm smarter than most of the people who are saying they are smart, and am anticipating several unfunny smartass remarks that would follow this post while also thinking about other things and operating on a couple different levels of irony here simultaneously.

^^ Well, almost anything I want, I have a very bad memory. :<

I like saying things that are on several levels of sarcasm at the same time, but almost no one gets it. >_< It's still funny to me!
