    The 99% are exactly as dumb as everybody.

    If you are one of the 99% dumb ones, then you are unable to recognize the truly smart ones. For you, everybody appears exactly the same dumb.

    If you are one of the 1% truly smart ones, then you know that you should not call the other ones dumb, and you should also not tell anybody that you are 100x smarter than they are.

    So in the end, you never know, and everybody remains the same dumb as everybody.

      I have a few issues with this, but I’ll just point out the obvious one: being in the top 1% of something doesn’t mean you’re 100x better at it.
