Well, of course it's straightforward to you. You know what you mean. ^-^
Oddly, most educated people that read what I say know what I mean. I've dealt with a fair share of peer reviews and never encountered a problem with it.

Sounds like moving the goalpost at its finest, to me. Seriously, that's a pretty convenient tautology you have there. "You are arrogant because we decided you are."
How else would arrogance be determined?
Popularity is something other people decide about you. Arrogance is something you feel about yourself.
Because you say so?
Checkmate, thanks for playing.

Because the dictionary says so, ********
The latest direction this discussion has taken me reminds me of the character of the witch Granny Weatherwax from Discworld. I'm paraphrasing, but she evidently learned early on that she was quite a bit smarter than everyone else around her, and also learned that it was best not to let them be aware of this fact.

The stuff of genius, everybody.
Clearly I'm far and away from the only one guilty of being obtuse, at the very least.
Because the dictionary says so, dipsh*t.
It doesn't, in fact. We've completed our conversation, now. Please feel free to continue with others, I require no more of your input to asses your personality. Good luck with your life.

Actually, most of the bone fide geniuses whom I have known irl and on the internet simply have no interest in proving their intelligence to anyone who doesn't believe in it.
Considering that all you apparently need to believe someone is a genius is for them to declare it, I don't find your anecdotal evidence of genius behavior very convincing.
Then you didn't understand my Schroedinger's cat metaphor. The jury is still out, even if Logic determines that I have no reason to disbelieve him yet. And since I don't know how to simply and effectively prove I know I know a handful of geniuses, in the past and present, I'm not going to try. Believe what you want. Except for one, the people who would know some of whom I'm talking about don't post here any more.

Oh, looky, number
1. Pride, a feeling of the self.
2. SELF-importance.
My, but that was hard. God, you know what, nevermind. I tried, I really did. But clearly I'm dealing with a bunch of entrenched dullards.
I don't think that says what you think it says.

Posted: Mar 25 2013 at 9:31 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) And just to be clear:
The main reason that Kachi's explanations aren't working is that he's being arrogant and than saying no, I wasn't being arrogant, or being pompous and then trying to explain how he wasn't really being pompous. He is and he was. That's fine, Smash is arrogant all the time, and you don't see anyone quibbling with him over it. That's not the problem here.

Kachi, you have spent gbaji number of words "defending" your intelligence in this thread. You are the one here who cares about what people think. If you didn't, you'd have walked away from the thread a long time ago.
I really apologize if it comes off as ruining someone's fun or forcing someone to conform by telling them what not to say. I'm just suggesting what a normal, well-adjusted human would actually do this situation. I'm still not sure if you're trying to prove that you ARE well adjusted or not, so take my advice with a grain of salt depending upon desired results.

I think the giant disconnect between my feelings here and yours is that you are fascinated by his maladjustment. I'm bored. I grew up on the internet in the late 90's so that was all I knew - people who were smarter than everyone else and socially isolated. There are those that at least pretend to care about others and those that will never stop looking down their nose at the "lesser beings". Kachi reeks of the latter, but it could be because he's trolling. Regardless, he's not exhibiting the former, which I'd expect to see when someone imposes themselves in a social forum such as this. If he's not willing to exhibit basic emotions that promote coexistence like humility and modesty in a social situation that he's choosing to be in, then he is exhibiting sociopathic traits and not just anti-social traits. That said, I find him about as fascinating as a used q-tip.
And for the record: I -still- don't feel that makes me superior, which would be the definition of arrogance. I just find too many of you insufferable.

It's just that the Dunning Kruger effect affects most people's skeptical abilities too. People are also falling for the million-to-one fallacy too.

It wasn't inevitable at all. I tried rather hard to prevent it.
