It’s okay to be stupid, at times, on a “I just don’t know” level. Nobody knows everything, not even experts.

It’s just not okay to pretend that you’re smart and know everything while demonstrating just how stupid you are. You’re only truly stupid also, when you don’t question, have a sense of awareness and aren’t curious to know more of something.

That’s exactly what online engagement has largely degraded into. People who think that because they’re louder, that they have more karma points, that they brown-nose to mods/admins make them smart and therefore not stupid. It just turns you into a stupid asshole who has a fragile ego.
