It’s not critical hermeneutics, it’s not postmodernism, but thinking of yourself as dumb is the one true learning. Maybe I’m not at all dumb, but it would be better if we had no claims to intelligence either. It elevates us to a higher podium and it gives us license to laugh at everyone who claims to be smart. Maybe it’s just classic Socrates. “Wisest is he who knows he does not know.”
Sometimes I tire of telling myself of happy I’ve been. Then I barely notice how happy I am.
