there is an idea in thinking (or philosophy if you will) called the hill of foolishness. one has to go up the hill (gaining false confidence) and then down (realizing there's still much more to learn but is much better than the commoner in this domain). scientific evidence back this up too (see the various reinforcement learning curves that spikes and before reaching the goal).

also, dominic cunnings is a very smart guy.

I see.

My name is Tom.

I'm a simple man, and my philosophy is simple.
