Tell me friends, if my hypothesis is stoopid: It's best not to know.

Take me, for example. If my IQ turned out to be lower than I think it is, of course I'm bummed.

But if it turns out to be higher than I think it is, I'm bummed even worser.

Knowing is a no win as far as I'm concerned.

For me, ignorance of the matter is truly bliss.

Hence the conundrum, if you get my drift.

By not knowing my IQ, I can simultaneously consider myself an inspirational overachiever and a dismal failure. That seems a good strategery for getting through the day.

The downside is I'll never really know which I am. Which is also the upside.

Yup. Best not to know.

Agree?
