Or are you like me? Expecting at any moment to be outed as an intellectual fraud. It's an area of high,possibly pathological,insecurity for me. I think it connects to the bullying related trauma. Being treated as a lesser person by my school age contemporaries, especially as a teenager.
I guess...
When I was younger, it seemed important, like one thing I knew I could rely on, in simple terms. I had a sense of control in that respect.
But, since, big, life-changing events have happened, and having intelligence made not a whit of difference to the fact that I had no control over those things at all.
It matters to me less, now. I'm content to live my life, such as it is.
