exactly. way too many people here conflate being told they were smart in kindergarten with that they should have won a noble prize or something.

It's nothing more that egotistical delusion. They also totally forget... that their teachers/parents were simple wrong. I used to get all this 'gifted' praize when I was a kid... but I never really believed it because I knew most adults were morons. I realized my own parents were idiots when I was like 6, one of my earliest memories and I learned to never trust their commentary about me or the world.

I never met a halfway smart adult into high school, and never met a legit intelligent one until college.
