Am I Stupid?

I think many people have asked themselves at one point. " Am I stupid? ". There are so many people who suffers from what i call intellectual snobbery, who thinks people are stupid if they don't live up to some self invented scale of knowledge. I for example think that I'm pretty smart, not because I can do a lot of maths or solve complicated riddles, but because I can think creatively and come up with my own theories about society.
Even though you are the worlds best math-wizard and can calculate Pi down to the 43 decimal, does not mean you're smart, in my world. What does a skill like that matter, if you cannot function in society because you are to excentric or don't have the social skills. Don't call anyone stupid before you're sure you're not stupid yourself. Glasshouses after all.
In my experience, most people aren't stupid, thats doesn't mean they are not dumb though. Dumb people are the people who act like jerks on the street.
So if someone calls you stupid, he's probably dumb as dirt himself. So always feel superior to people who call you stupid, if you know, you have more imagination or attributes you are proud of.
