Don't let new jargon and lack of experience with a paradigm influence your notion of self. You are as smart as you were before, and now see the universe just a might bit clearer than before.

Them failing to teach you Category theory in a single reddit post has little bearing on your intelligence.

I'm sure this would be something you could learn for yourself as well. Category theory/logic/universal algebra/etc don't require any magic; they do require you banging your head against them for some time though...
