Highly intelligent people are actually more self doubting than arrogant.

Don’t over estimate yourself and under estimate others

[@jonathanmoisesfarias1973]

The title of this video “The Struggles of Being Highly Intelligent” is sort of misleading. What Jordan Peterson is actually trying to say is that regardless of your IQ, falling in love with oneself too much can cause issues like antisocial behavior and tendencies. Antisocial meaning you want everything your way since you’ve decided that your way is the best way, caused by overinflated pride. In some sense, you might think you’re smart and that your way is the only way, but that is the condition of somebody whom is egotistical and that attitude can be dangerous to oneself and others affected.

I wish I was a bit more intelligent. I am more on the slow side so I am thankful to God there are people who chew and breakdown the knowledge for me that I can understand it better. I am benefiting from other's wisdom. Thank you

I remember seeing him on some kind of a show where they asked Jordan Peterson what his biggest fear was and I think the answer was somewhere in the ballpark of not knowing enough or kind of feeling stupid. I'm paraphrasing of course and I just remember thinking that is just too high of a bar to set and must be so stressful. I was always told in the medical field that the more you know the less you know. Meaning that we don't even realize how much knowledge is out there. it's almost inconceivable, but you start to learn things and even more possibilities emerge in your head. Such an honorable and intellectual man with a beautiful family. just wish he wouldn't put so much pressure on himself like that. It's too stressful and he seems to be a very good guy

Intelligent individuals know that arrogance is a burden.

Milton talks about intellectual arrogance but literally preludes Paradise Lost by stating it’s the most important thing ever written since the Bible.

Yes Satan instigated our Bad thoughts but we can choose God to better overcome those temptations

[@aziron32]

Aren’t you confusing intellect for narcissism ? What you have described does not at all sound as intellectualism, but strongly suggests that you are talking of narcissistic disorder. My job as psychologist for 12 years in the psychiatric ward of Brussel’s University Hospital consisted of diagnosing incoming patients.

Intellect is not only about being right but also admitting when your wrong.

“Just because you won the argument doesn’t mean you was right”

[@shelleysolomon2228]

Not all intellectuals are narcissists

[@justingary5322]

It's the arrogance of thinking you know everything without question

[@G-entleManAndScholar]

Like the 1st Kung Fu Panda, why Tai Lung was defeated by Po.

[@PLeejo]

WOW. Who knew Dirty Harry's quote "a man's got to know his limitations" was so deep.

[@kokoro.theheart]

Knowledge puffs up but love edifies.

[@1laforees9]

The danger isn't the intellect but the emotions and its relationship with the intellect the leads to pride.

[@daveybass655]

Humility, a great asset.

[@zk1479]

Absolutely correct. Read also "in the light of truth" to really appreciate this understanding. Thank you sir.

This message is a wake up call!!! Let us contemplate every single sentence! Thank you Professor. Lucifer falls in love with his own productions and because of his pride and arrogance he thinks there is nothing outside of what you think which is characteristic of totalitarian mentality. No humility at all!
