I agree, everyone is a "trust but verify" thinker.

Everyone but you, and you're the only one that knows it. How likely is that?
The kind of thought process in which one feels strongly that they have acquired a special knowledge apart from other humans can often be attributed to a simple manic episode, i.e. the more enjoyable, upswing cycle of manic-depression. The brain's reward mechanism goes haywire, reinforcing even silly or simple ideas to the point that they appear profound or unique.
Later on, when you're curled up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor, with a gun pressed up under your jaw, but you're too much of a coward to pull the trigger, please take a moment to consider what I'm saying here.
Your soul-crushing self-doubt at that moment will be the polar opposite to the delusion of grandeur you are feeling now.
