Comment on Ask HN: Let's say I'm not as smart as I think, how do I stop acting stupid?

It's the pay. The pay is so high that we've removed humility from our life. Everyone must treat us well otherwise we can flippantly ignore something.

Someone that starts out with a humbling experience first, has a different upbringing. The path, is to lower pay dramatically, make it on par with serving McDonalds fries.

Yep, you have to take a metaphorical beating in life to cultivate humility. Empathy helps.

We are, broadly speaking, not special; just lucky to get paid to solve puzzles that happen to have some value in the current socioeconomic configuration.
