I watched the Elon Musk interview with Joe Rogan and noticed that the guy is very arrogant. He acts as if he knows everything, yet he's wrong on a lot of stuff. Whenever he's presented with information that he doesn't know he literally acts as if what you're saying is irrelevant. In the interview with Rogan he mis-quotes Carl Sagan, and then when Rogan tells him about an event he wasn't familiar with he immediately loses interest and acted as if Joe Rogan was the stupid one for knowing irrelevant things. Musk is very arrogant. He's smart, but he's not a genius. I have a feeling Musk thinks he's a lot smarter than he actually is. I wasn't impressed by him at all. He doesn't seem all that smart yet he acts like he's the world's smartest man.

Always check your ego when you think that.

I find it refreshing sometimes to NOT be the smartest person in the room. To gain a new perspective, perhaps learn something I didn't know before. We're never too old to learn.

It's a rather enjoyable experience having others of equal or higher intelligence to speak with. Unfortunately it's not often enough. It's frustrating always breaking every thought down to the lowest common denominator in order to communicate. It causes me to simply remain quiet for the most part.

And then there's the further conversation of intelligence vs. awareness. One might be an astrophysicist with five degrees, and still be blissfully unaware of that which goes on in the modern world behind the scenes. That's the part that frustrates me, especially in the past year.

I hate being the smartest in the room because all it means is more responsibility and bullshit. Not worth it.
