I think he knows that he’s stupid

He’s incredibly insecure about it, and feels the need to announce his own brilliance all the time, because he hears people using words he doesn’t understand, discussing concepts that are beyond him, talking about complex situations without reducing them to black and white

He knows he’s stupid, and that’s why he’s so hateful. He’s jealous of everyone who is more intelligent than him, and that’s pretty much everyone

Obviously, he could never admit that though
