Now, I take. the stance of um you know, smartness is. not the only thing that matters. You. know, goodness matters. Uh but red here, I I think they're not. mutually exclusive. is that smartness. matters the most. I'm not an evil. genius. Do you think that you're smart? That's what I'm getting at. Well, you.

know, uh what do you mean by smart? Do. you think. do you think that you're smart? Right. You know, I think you know I'm a little. above average. Okay. Only because he. feels like I'm trapping him. He's kind. of hedging a little bit. But yeah, he he. think he likes to think that he's smart. And you know what? As if you are smart. I don't even have glasses, man. There's. nothing wrong with that.
