“I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers.”

What it means
Our interpretation.
Pratchett's speaker felt stupid until meeting philosophers. Suddenly their own confusion looked modest by comparison. It's a joke that pokes at big thinkers, suggesting that lots of clever talk can still leave people baffled about ordinary things.
