This book just keeps getting better

"Perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything." The more I read Notes From the Underground, the more the narrator's seemingly rambling thoughts make sense. Once you get past the weirdness of what he is saying, you realize that it is not that weird after all. He deems himself an intelligent man because he cannot start or finish anything which sounds random and pretty unintelligent at first, if you ask me. After rereading that passage and taking his words into consideration, I realized that he's implying that intelligence stems from indecision or uncertainty. If you're so certain about something, even if it is subject to change, it takes away from your intelligence in a way. One must be absolutely, positively sure that something is going to go right in order to act upon it, but how can one know if he is right? How can one have that much confidence? A stupid man would not consider this. He would not hesitate and think to consider what his actions might bring about. Therefore, the narrator is in fact an intelligent movie. I like this book a lot.
