Needless to say i’m talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger’s cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don’t have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

    I guess the best one for me may be elite university students are “just smarter” than others until I have to read their term papers.

    For some reason it’s always the non-native English speakers who write well.

      Just a guess, but I’d think that a smart person who is ESL will read more good books than their native language peers. When you write you imitate the style of the people you’ve read. The native speakers are reading comic books and the ESLs are reading the classics.
