Good article. I feel smarter already. 🙂 ( I have a 150 IQ and I have always felt that I was just smart enough to realize how stupid I am. )

We learn from stupidity as we gain facts to resolve stupidity.

this article really makes me think about my grad school experience in art. following the work, not really knowing where it's going to take you, how to find resolution. interesting.

Usually don't follow links unless I have WiFi (Data plan, yeah...), So without knowing, the thing that comes to mind is Einstein quote on trying "stupid" ideas..... "Its not a failure, its another possibility proven wrong"

not exactly. It's an opinion piece on how high level research makes you feel stupid because you know so little (which is a good thing).

@Lukian ahhhh.... In that case, me personally, that would not make me feel stupid. Actually it will encorage me to try to learn something I don't know. Thanks for the clarification though.

@IamNobody which is the point of the article. Kudos! (still a good read)

@Lukian I'll check it out when I get WiFi, thx
