I was disabusing him of the notion that he might be the smartest person in that room. Smartness is across various axes, for one, but mainly, the presumptuousness and the sheer confidence of the assumption rubbed me the wrong way, not so much the content of the argument.

Agreed. I think that some people - SBF included - could take to heart the idea that sometimes they are not the smartest person in the room. Or even that being 'smart' is not the always the most important thing to be at every point in time.

And that attotude usually doesn't go well in court. Or meetings with, how did OP put it, "normies".
