For the longest time I have suffered from the notion that I am more intelligent than most people just because I know how to make computers do certain things with code, or because I read more books.
This resulted in me suffering from immense Dunning-Kruger for the longest time and resulted in me failing to listen to other people and have some character development because I have alot of way to go. This isn't the first time either, I questioned my parent's career choices and had multiple arguments with my parents because I thought i was smarter than them. I had this fucked up idea that every single person should pursue a STEM major not realising the good my parents have done over the years by teaching and lifting up students, changing lives.
Ever since I have started to listen to other people more instead of getting angry at every little disagreement, I feel like i think and form more articulate thoughts than ever. For instace; my sister hates GEN-Z, I used to get mad thinking she was hateful but recently, I have been listening to her more and honestly she brings up alot of valid points. It's like everyone offers you a new perspective and helps you learn more about the world. But you have to be vary of anecdotes because they cloud most judgement and lean more towards generalizing most of the time rather than providing a new insight.
I wonder if my opinion in a year will align with my current one, well that's why I made this blog to keep track of.
I have lost the plot. I guess the takeway is everyone's opinion matters; there's no right or wrong it's just opinions.
Goodnight
