I’m in academia and willingness to look stupid (sometimes to be stupid) is an important and difficult skill that we try hard to train and almost all of my colleagues now have.

(Adding) I mean not easy personality wise due o their background, OR not easy because people more often treat them as stupid given an excuse because of who they are or what they look like.
