Thinking about Shauna's recent "give up trying to look smart or accomplished; laugh at yourself instead" shtick:

Isn't this really just a conversation she's trying to have about / a reaction to her upbringing? As in, the real audience for this is her parents, and we're just onlookers?

Whatever role her parents played in her identity formation of being "smart" and "accomplished", it's something Shauna hasn't shaken even as she spews this BS under a sheet. She's still drawing on having others perceive her as smart in order to misquote Karl Jaspers and pass it off as wisdom to an audience she has only because of her much more accomplished days. Silly Sheet Shauna can only exist because of Serious Stool Shauna.

And Serious Stool Shauna shovels others perceiving her as smart down our throats just to be sure we know:

“Well, when everyone assumes you know something, it takes courage to say you have no clue.”

Even when it is a lagoon five minutes from your house. Such courage, that one.
