Have you ever wanted to sound smart without really saying anything at all? Have you ever repeated a point to make it sound endearing and roundabout? How about asking a question a third time in a row to really bring it home? Then this video is for you!

Very underrated thread.

This was hilarious, one of the best TED talks I've seen. He makes a great point though, all people have to do is sound smart and people will listen to them as if they are.

he reminds me of someone i know tbh
but honestly senpai is right, this is worth the watch

We don't need to look smart, you need to be smart.

Unfortunately, just being smart isn't going to help you much if you're unable to communicate your ideas to others effectively. Looking smart makes it more likely that others will actually bother listening to you.
