Do most of you realize that you're not that smart?

Yeah. I'm slightly above average but I lack some social skills that are more profitable than intellectual ones. But I know this and accept it. I just do what I have to do without much pretensions. Such is life.

I'd say I'm pretty damn smart compared to most people, but I'd also say there are a lot of people that completely eclipse me that I can never dream of catching up to. I could never make it as a mathematician or physicists, but being a pretty smart engineer is still good

I was good at math in high school. I know fractions etc. I have really high confidence that I am better than most and disregard bullshit posted on this site.

What would a superconducting transmission line look like given current superconductor technology? A vacuum insulated pipeline filled with liquid nitrogen with the conductor in the middle?

OP sorry to break it to you but that is not really an evidence of you being smart. That is just you not being completely and absolutely retarded.

the most common mistake is to think that a/b + a/c = (a+b)/c. or even adding the numerators and denominators together. you can only add numerators when they have the same denominator. a lot of people didn't get that. i think i was best in class and still feel pretty good about that.

When I saw a phd candidate struggle to read the time and another declare her iphone was broke when she somehow turned her wifi off, I thought "holy shit, people are dumb" and made me feel a whole lot better about myself.

that could be due to pressure and stage fright. i once got into a pretty embarrassing situation where some stranger asked me to help his elderly lady figure out some settings on her phone. "young man, you can surely help us with this quick problem". trivial stuff but my autism kicked in and it happened so suddenly i forgot everything i knew. i pushed a few buttons then said sorry and walked away.

No. One was at a gathering and the second at a pub. Both were sociable, alert and not drunk. They just genuinely were stupid about everything outside their single area of expertise. Notice this in many, too many, "smart" people. Especially with money. Why are there so many people in university that don't understand how debt works?

It's because most people here are insecure so any opportunities they can find to assert themselves as higher they take, often with subtile and not so subtle belittling to cement the feeling.
So when less combative insecure people come here they see that and feel even dumber; it's like social Darwinism for autistic betas.
