Wha?

Shh, coucouche panier, Canichou. Everything's fine. (I'm feeling silly, don't mind me)

[Serza]

Not stopping me from wondering if I was right.

 

Either I was, or I am completely stupid after all. At least in one way.

Life is funny that way.

Serza your English is really good, and the level of discourse in this thread can be pretty high, certainly by BSN standards. We've a history professor, someone who's about to start a postgrad dregree in computer science, etc. I'm positively under-qualified with my mere Bachelor's degree in modern languages...

A bunch of people who like to analyse stuff and ponder the implications of things hang out in Sera's thread. Sera is notoriously allergic to that kind of thing. Irony!

What? It's flat and it has milk in it.

Uncle knows enough history and geography for me to consider him a graduate himself.

I'd label myself as an intellectual jack of all trades. I'm interested in everything and expert in nothing...

 

(But I am a graduate in modern languages.)

You seem to underestimate and second guess your own intelligence with regularity. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, that makes you likely to be highly intelligent/competent.

Bachelor's enough. It's still a college degree.

Heck, I'll be surprised if I get that, even.

I'm not sure if you meant someone else, but at the age of 19, I'm nowhere near becoming a Professor.

Trivia time, that's the highest college degree achievable here... Not sure if there are any higher ones in other countries, even if I think there are a few "on par" with it.

 

And my English... Well, I used to be a little special snowflake in elementary and high schools. Always at the top of the class with my skills.

Thankfully, the times are gone. I'm now towards the top in practical usage, I believe, but average/sub-average in theoretical areas of it.

Mind you, towards the top. There are positively some great english speakers studying in the same class.

Bah. I'm quite clever, I admit. I guess I'm quite competent, too.

But the moment I stop second-guessing myself is the moment I become an elitist a-hole.

Would rather second-guess than that.

So, no. I'm actually quite the idiot! Sometimes.

Didn't Socrates say that true wisdom was in knowing that one knows nothing? Dunning and Kruger got beaten to the punch by a few hundred years...

I refuse to click any spoiler tags including spiders. Eugh...  Gigantic arachnophobe. Thak god DA:I Spiders aren't scary.

 

These spiders freak me out.

I'm starting to feel underqualified to be here, being a simple nature-loving muscle for hire that I am

[YourFunnyUncle]

Oh there are a few variations of that that I've heard from different very clever people. One I like is by Bertrand Russell:

 

"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."

 

What Dunning and Kruger did was to measure it scientifically.

Doesn't necessarily mean you're an idiot.

 

Being a nature-loving muscle and being intelligent are not mutually exclusive.

You contribute very well to the conversations here, and I know as a Finn it's kind of expected of you, but your English is excellent also.

Oh, I know. 'Tis a career where the only applicable degrees come from the school of hard knocks and stupidity can be fatal

That right there is a very good motivation. Although stupidity can be fatal in other fields too. The Darwin Awards are proof of that.

I'm not actually a professor, either! Just a know-it-all graduate student in the last semester of her MA.

[Serza]

Hmm. Anyone know where I can change a game's language in Origin?

 

My sis caught up with the "Balls of Silverite" joke, so I installed DA:O on her PC as a retaliation. Thing is, her english isn't as advanced as mine. Yet. I'm working on that.
