Not a fan of behavior that seeks to minimize others as dumb or low IQ. So what? Was it their fault they were born that way? Dumb, smart, who cares... If you know something others don't, feel free to guide them towards information to catch up on what you know. Maybe try to stay humble too, exercise compassion and try to do good by all.

Something that the whole human race could be better at.

Also everyone has things they are dumb at and smart at I think.

People are lacking accolades and appreciation from others, for varying reasons, and therefor must self-administer status by diminishing others.

Ultimately it’s cope. Very human, quite sad, but cope nonetheless. Praying for you motherfuckers 🤙

Even the humble one has something you don’t know, even for the humble intelectual you have something to teach you. The humblest question could lead you to the biggest answer.

Correction:

Even the humblest has to teach you something you don't know, even the humblest intellectual has something to teach you. The humblest question could lead you to the most important answer.

On a related note, another problem I see is the lack of awareness of one's own cognitive limitations, and unfortunately, the more one is limited in that area, the less aware of it one tends to be.

It's difficult to develop expertise, and it takes an intelligent person to realise this. Most people get satisfied with a shallow understanding and stop questioning, thinking they know it all already, you can't teach them anything anymore! They can be very annoying...

Just writing this makes me cringe, I've been there so many times. 😅

Yes Dunning-Kruger effect. See it all the time and I’m sure I’m no exception.
