I don't have grounds to reach any reasonable conclusion about my own capabilities, since I have access to different info about myself vs. about other people.

Sounds like something a smart person would say.

That's what they want you to think.

If they come out and say "I am very smart" everyone will make fun of them.

Eh. That probably means you're right.

That's because I'm asking myself "what would Socrates answer?", and answering like I think that he would. And Socrates was smart.
