It's kinda the same with a stylish signature if you're in a high position

I agree. No buffoonery 🚫.

Actually, I kinda think sometimes it’s smart not to look so smart. For one thing if you look too smart you risk making others around you feel inferior, and for another people set lower expectations for you that are easier to clear if they don’t think you’re smart.

I took it as a helpful piece of advice and not a comment about myself
