1. Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
  2. Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
  3. Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

    You're not breaking the fourth wall, this is not a parasocial interaction either or whatever new term people get attached to, this is not "tapping the glass", this is just interacting online.

    Break what 4th wall? how is asking people if they think theyre smart 4th wall breaking? Breaking the 4th wall is used to refer to a fictional character that recognizes they are fictional. The 4th wall being the perspective of the viewer of said fictional content since in visual media you have a "stage" where you are looking at the scene from one side and in a typical room set youll have 3 visible walls and the imaginary wall in the direction of the camera thats actually not there.

    Im really curious what you thought it meant tho cuz it doesn't seem like you meant the above definition.

    1. My teachers have commented that I'm a fast learner, so I would say yes, somewhat, or at least someone who catches on to things quickly.
    2. I'm usually the first person in my group of friends to notice a scam or something/someone being off. I guess you could call this street smarts.
    3. Honestly, I think everyone is unique in their own way!

    As for your question title, this isn't breaking the fourth wall, this is a post that would fit right in on an Ask community! 🙂

    Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

    1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
    2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
    3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).

    i think i'm no different than anyone else and if i'm wise in any way; then it came as a result of trial and error.
