>you have ever questioned your own intellectual abilities
That's not quite fair. People are obtuse about this shit, too, anyway. If you're so obviously smarter than everyone around you that you'd legit have to be posturing dishonestly in order to pretend you weren't sure of it, that's Dunning-Kruger, but if you *do* question your own intellectual capacity, that's *also* because you're retarded. Self-assured because you truly never encounter intellectual difficulty? Dunning-kruger, you're stupid. A little more humble because you appreciate how complicated things really are? Nah, you're stupid or it'd be easy for you. Not that you'd be allowed to express how easy it was, or else you'd be a dunning-kruger dummy, only showing how out-of-his-depth he is.
Brilliant people are simultaneously so bright that it's impossible for average and comparatively imperceptive people to ignore or mistake it, and completely oblivious to that fact throughout their entire lives despite everyone blowing smoke up their ass for it constantly.

Yeah, it absolutely was faggotry and I find it remarkable. It's Prussian broscience from centuries ago, but in tone it's identical to a boomer op-ed or a fucking reddit/facebook post, proving that nothing is new under the sun. I guarantee you that there was some jackass saying the same shit the first time someone cooked meat over an open fire instead of just biting into a corpse, too.

And then a couple millennia later, there must've been some other faggot:
>"WANG REN'S FATHER FATHER EAT BARNYARD GRASS AND RAT, RICE FOR FAGGOT"
Nothing new under the sun.
