If we for instance take, as an example, someone thoroughly explaining something which is clear to 99,9999% of the earths adult population don’t you think the remaining .0001% could come up with some? I get that this community is a place to allow people to ask questions they can’t or won’t ask elsewhere but I certainly feel stupid sometimes when I ask questions while attending courses etc.

So bottom line, how do you ask questions when you feel stupid?

      My mechanics teacher always said the only stupid people are the one who are unwilling to learn, and really most people are just uneducated.

      Calling them stupid implies they are unable to learn and therefore not at fault for their situation. That’s pretty rare.

      And they’re stupid because they don’t know things. They ask, we answer and then they become a little bit less stupid.
