Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

Summary

This quote suggests that egotism, or excessive self-importance, acts as a temporary relief from the consequences or awareness of one's own foolishness or lack of intelligence. It implies that having a strong ego can blind individuals to their own limitations, shielding them from the discomfort of facing their own mistakes or shortcomings. In essence, egotism acts as a numbing agent, dulling the pain that may come from acknowledging one's own stupidity or errors.
