Joyce is one of the only people that keeps me (a little) humble.

Even though I know it isn't the best way to go through life, I pretty much think everyone is considerably dumber than me or, at most, as smart. I have never met anyone that I believe to be smarter.

Joyce, along with a few other great writers, sets the bar incredibly high. It keeps me grounded. I'm sure all the genius mathematicians are slightly smarter too but I don't engage with their abilities so I don't care.

>Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunnt-rovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk

This is the smartest thing ever written. It is the sound of thunder accompanying the Fall of Adam and Eve. It is comprised of words for thunder in several different languages, showcasing Joyce's genius-level ability to look in dictionaries (I read that in a blog and/or the foreword and/or wikipedia).

>Ineluctable modality of the visible

This is another genius line. While it may be look like shitty prose lacking musicality to the untrained eye, it is actually an obscure reference to Aristotle. (I read that in a blog and/or the foreword and/or wikipedia). To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Joyce's references, etc. In this and many other ways, Joyce paved the way for such contemporary masters as Ernest Cline, who has also mastered the art of "tee-hee, what am I referencing now??" prose.

>Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo

I will not even try to explain this line. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt the greatest thing ever put into symbols by mankind. The Sistine chapel and the Gothic cathedrals can suck a cock for all I care, this line, truly, it both humbles and emboldens me - humbles me in the sense that I realize I am but a poor specimen who can only dream of such heights, but emboldens me in the knowledge that a man, a human, was capable of such a feat.

I mean, cringey and seemingly dumb as it is to say considering the shit quality of this board, most people who browse /lit/ probably have higher-than-average IQ, because usually those with higher-than-average IQ are interested in literature in the first place. So, that said, you may be smarter than the average person, but it's still obvious (as all the posts in response to this have said) that you're pretty pretentious and probably not as smart as you think you are.

Unlike you, I think I'm average when it comes to intelligence, but that most people I met are dumber than me. Not because of their capabilities to memorize things (that's irrelevant), but because of what they're interested in (to most of them, it's all about alcohol and fucking) and how little they thought about the big topics, like free will, existence etc.
I don't consider myself arrogant, I also behave humble, even with people who I think are dumber than me (which isn't usually the case when someone thinks someone is dumber than him, because then he behaves condescendingly), and never insult anyone, but I know someone will call me arrogant.
