True, but then there's nothing wrong with being dumb. I know a lot of smart people, and they're all dumb about most things. Like the universe, we're mostly empty, with some hot, bright spots. What I mean is, don't think of yourself as fundamentally smart or dumb, think of yourself as having a lot to learn, no matter who you are or how others perceive you.

But sure, this is a good reminder of how you go about learning new things. It's the Julie Andrews method of pedagogy: "start at the very beginning (a very good place to start)"
