Good point.
I can see that they wouldn’t look at the world that way because of their low standards.
I guess I do think most professors and authors aren’t smart. I’m thinking I should be more skeptical about that because I don’t really know a lot about the world, and I myself have a lot to learn about being smart.
Yeah and it’d be fine to be writing books that were bad if you were also trying to debate and discuss with critics about them and trying to improve your writing.
