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?
