As Charles Bukowski famously said: “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

Despite the fact that we have infinite knowledge at our fingertips with the internet, it appears that being online has only made some of us dumber. Or it has at least allowed us to showcase our stupidity in front of more people than ever before!

We took a trip to the I Am Very Smart subreddit and gathered some of their most hilarious posts down below. Enjoy scrolling through these examples of people believing they’re much smarter than they actually are, and keep reading to find a conversation with Scott Carter, CMHC!

    I think, perhaps, if you were to be a bit less of a phantom-snob, and simply enjoyed talking to someone about these fascinating facts, you may have more luck. Instead of being a brash, faux erudite, simply be curious, and respectful about others' experiences. Also, don't be a wanker. It's common sense & common decency, really.

    Being 14 is hard and brings out the d.i.c.k. in many, so I am willing to let that slide for now (I believe a lot of people don't realise the d.i.c.k.ish things they did as a teenager, because of the lack of a big picture at that age). However it is very much something people should grow out of.

    IQ tests are biased based on what you’re exposed to in different socioeconomic statuses, cultures, urban vs rural, etc. People can be intelligent in so many different ways and intelligence has less to do with success than something like hard work.
