John Cleese on stupidity - If you’re very, very stupid how could you possibly realise how very, very stupid you are? You’d have be relatively intelligent to realise how stupid you are. In order to know how good you are at something requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place. If you’re absolutely no good at something at all then you lack exactly the skills you need to be aware that you’re absolutely no good at it.
