Actually, I hadn't realised what the circumstances of that picture were (I assume it's that picture) so the fact that I was so immature I changed To Let to ToiLet now seems quite appropriate.

You're cleverer than you know.

The question must be asked though: does that still hold true now I know that?

No, now you're stupider.

Ah. So now we've established that the act of knowing that you are smarter or stupider than you are changes the fact I am trapped in an oscillating loop of being alternately cleverer and then stupider than I think. I suppose somewhere there must be a cross-over point where I am exactly as clever/stupid as I think?

Nope, doesn't happen. It's a quantum phenomenon with with no exact alignment between the cleverer>stupider and stupider>cleverer cycles. Soz.

Still at least I can tell I'm on a stupid cycle right now, since I don't wholly understand your last post. Although if I know I'm set to stupid at the moment, then I can't actually be more stupid than I think which must mean I'm cleverer than I think I am right now. In which case, having deduced that, my estimation of my cleverness has changed and... oh fuck, my brain is leaking.

Oooh, I do like a good paradox!
