+I am very good at my craft, which has let me objectively assess the amount of
+mediocrity that exists in the field.
+
+When I was in school, I came to class many times better prepared than my
+teachers, so I realized easily when they were trying to bullshit us. It made me
+sad that the others students bought into it, or plainly did not care to think
+whether it was true or not.
+
+Then, when I first entered the job market and started working at a supermarket
+chain I was honestly baffled by the total lack of technical know-how that
+everyone in the department had. And I'm not exaggerating. To me
+technological infrastructure in Ecuador runs on divine miracles. There's no
+other explanation.
+
+The problem is, I don't know shit about medicine. I did start my academic years
+in Biology rather than CS, so I know the basics of how the body works. But if a
+doctor were to bullshit me, I would not be able to tell. The same way I could
+not tell whether what my Calculus teachers were saying was correct or not.
+
+The good thing is, I am aware of this. And I am also aware of my own
+limitations: I simply cannot know everything. Thus, I do not immediatly reject
+everything, but I do take absolutely everything with a pinch of salt. 
+
+And I would advice you, my dear reader, to do the same. Everyone is a salesman
+in their own area, and there really are only a few people that care about
+others. Do not let pretty words and your own ignorance divert from the truth,
+harness your ignorance and be suspicious.
