    The cleaning lady at my building thinks she’s smarter and knows better than doctors, teachers, scientists, professors and researchers.

    How did we get to this point where people can’t accept that they don’t know everything, and narcissism has reached cleaning ladies who now think they’re geniuses?

        We had those kind of people forever, it’s just now thanks to social media that they can feed of each other’s paranoia.

          Agreed. Even back in the days of old, each village had their idiot. Now all the idiots can connect and further their idiocy whenever they like.

      It’s fascinating. These people can easily accept that they are physically worse then celebrity sports people. They can admit to running slower than Usain Bolt, but they can’t admit to themselves that they are dumber than someone who has studied in their field for years and years?
