Well said. I am always very uneasy if I feel I am the most knowledgeable guy in the room -- because I know I don't know even a small fraction of what is known. Now I know why I feel uneasy -- because I am in a dangerous setting.


I often say that if you think you're the smartest person in the room, you probably aren't. And if you actually are the smartest person in the room, you need to be in a better room.


That implies that someone always is the smartest, and that person always needs a better room. If they're so smart, how come they're in crap rooms?
