This belongs in /cameron 😅
I took a lil detour and found @cameron’s lil cove (I actually wrote it in my notes app so I’d remember to check it out during the weekend) … and bruhhh, when I tell you, he’s so real for this, I’m not kidding
Like, painfully real…
It’s one of those monologues you want to laugh at, not because it’s wrong, but because it hits too close to home.
The number of times I’ve sat around, annoyed that someone “dumber than me” is absolutely thriving in their lane, not because they’re better than me, but because they stayed in the game long enough to get better… is a little embarrassing.
And when he laid out the Dunning Kruger curve and was like, “dumb people live on Mount Stupid and never leave,” I almost threw my phone cause it’s so true, like offensively true 😅
The gag is: smart people get self-conscious. We love nuance. We can’t help seeing all the flaws, the gaps, the ways something could be better, so we stop ourselves

We let our self-awareness eat us alive before the world even has a chance to criticize us. And meanwhile, the guy who can’t spell “entrepreneur” has launched three businesses, crashed two, and is lowkey living off the third 😅
It’s not even about intelligence, It’s about ego, It’s shame, It’s fear of public mediocrity. It’s thinking you should be excellent on day one because you know better, so when you’re not, it’s crushing.
But Cameron’s point is that knowing better doesn’t make you better, doing it over and over again, regardless of how cringe it feels, does
And that’s where it actually gets deep, because how many of us are sitting in the valley of despair, overqualified, overthinking, and underperforming simply because we refused to let ourselves be a little stupid in public? I’ve got entire graveyards of ideas that died in that pit 😭
So yeah, it’s a brutal truth, but it’s also kinda liberating
