When You're Too Smart

I can't even express in words how much I relate to this.

*You're too stupid to explain your point. Albert Einstein — 'If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.'

Yep you're too smart; everyone else is too dumb.
Couldn't possibly be you're wrong.

Imagine Kanye West saying this quote, that should allow your naivety to strike you like a truck.

I cringe when people think they're superior.

This image just needs a Guy Fawkes mask to conplete the cringe.

I get that this does legit happen, but I don't think it happens as often as we're tempted to think.
I think in most cases it's not an issue of complexity, it's an issue of empathy. An issue of not quite being willing or even able to really see things from the other person's perspective.
Because, let's be honest... usually if you walk away thinking this, your opponent is probably thinking the exact same thing.
