I tend to think everyone is at least as smart as I am, and I get really disappointed when they are dumber cuz I'm pretty fucking dumb.

    I have come to realize people who spend time in certain topics become "smart" in them (i.e they can make connections others can't make or have dexterity of thought regarding questions, problems, ideas on that topic). In this can be pretty much limited to that topic or its immediate neighbors. So every such statement should be evaluated conditional to the topic and the person's experience with it. Of course I have met couple people in my life that could make deep comments on topics they have even met for the first time but that is a separate category of people.
