Is it tough to admit that someone is smarter than you?

now you're getting it.
 
No. How can you ever learn from others if you're always the smartest/most knowledgeable?

Also this is what I meant with my response

not that im a stupid nigga but that i like to learn from others who may have more knowledge

like I might know some shit and just not speak up because I feel that someone else in the room can explain it better or put me onto something i dont even know.
 
Always gunna be someone smarter than you, wether it’s in one field of knowledge or in general. Always listen if it’s a topic you’re not versed in, always good to learn new things.
 
When I was young I was really into the fuck capitalism shit, walking around with che guevara shirts on and shit.

I was around people who didnt know shit about shit and so I was always schooling mfers. For a teenager thats a crazy ego boost, so im feeling myself.

Now for classic socialists, a cop out argument is always America and the West likes to start wars for economic reasons so they can sell weapons to both sides and make money. Looking at how the world economy worked 50 years ago, you could make a argument that was true. But with globalization all that changed, and war as an economic tool became a bad move, economically. In modern economics, stability is where you make your money. You want the whole world to be stable so that the production of goods doesnt slow down and drive prices up.

Long story short though, as a young communist I didnt understand any of that. I was all about playing back arguments I heard about why america was the devil and in my circle that was enough.

And then I ran into a mfer that had a degree in economics. When I told him that the west starts wars as an economic tool, he laughed at me hard as fuck and schooled me on how wrong and outdated that was with examples of how all the world powers try to ensure stability and how international stability was the driving force of global economics.

That mfer humbled me so hard. Never wore a che guevera shirt again.

Shit made me realize I was just regurgitating shit I heard with half truths that made logical sense, but wasnt factual. Also made me realize how little I actually knew and how hard I would get schooled by people that really studied a subject.
It's scary because I don't claim to be the highest grade of weed, but my girlfriend is definitely smarter than me and since I have been with her she hipped me on alot of game and inspired me to fact check whenever I'm discussing shit. Saying all this, my sister and her husband is one of those down south conspiracy don't trust the man type niggas who swear statistics and proven information are not fake and drinking Vicks rub and hot tea cures cancer and shit. ALOT of shit he says he prides himself on for being the MAN in his household that my sister bought into, which is super wrong but I be struggling to correct him on because I don't wanna come off as I know everything or better than him.

Shit changes now because I'm a uncle now, and I fear for my niece knowledge about life with his dated concepts and information he receiving. Dude the type to say he was kicked out of high school, but school was pointless, because the government will control your thoughts so learn from me, HIV is a myth type shit. Shit be terrifying me man. My sister smarter than this, but she bought all into this shit SMH.
