I think it's a negative correlation for me. The more I learn, the more I realize that I don't know.

Agreed. Socrates would also agree.

How are you measuring intelligence? That might be your problem.

First of all, there is no measurement, this is vague speculating.

Second of all, Socrates was kind of a source for the idea, or at least Plato was...in fact, in learning that wisdom is knowing that you know nothing he starts with the more intelligent, managerial class, realizes they are full of crap, then he checks out the tradesmen, has a much higher opinion of them, but realizes still that they think they know things they don't. And THEN he decides he's ignorant of everything, and therefore the most knowledgable man.

If Socrates would agree...it would only be that he is the exception
