Which is it? 
Oh, scar[r]ing.

Psychology says there’s two types of intelligence: (1) crystallised - our knowledge we have gained, and (2) fluid - our ability to learn and understand new and various information >

It’s so funny to me when peoples shower thoughts are just known scientific theories >

Which highlights the importance of sharing knowledge. It's one of the things that separates (most of) us from apes. They don't understand another ape can know something they don't. 
I'm not smart, it's just my crystalized knowledge leaking. >

Its hard to say, but probably not the case with apes
They teach their young things all the time, and new behaviors are recorded to be taught when exposed to a group (liking washing fruits etc) 
The leap to suggesting they may know that other apes know things they don't isn't too far 
I think the issue is moreso their inability to abstractly communicate through language 
The amount of info you can pass on is severely limited if you can't talk >

Ape see ape do 🗿🦍🗿 >

I have been absolutely appalled as an adult by the number of times my peers have told me that they're afraid to ask questions because they don't want to look dumb.   
How is anyone supposed to not look dumb if they never ask any questions?  There's an infinite amount of knowledge in the world, so everyone is infinitely far from understanding everything.   Ask questions, seek perspectives, postulate answers with those around you when no hard answers can be found.   Thinking is fun, and as a social species we're supposed to do it together.  Never be embarrassed for having curiosity that exceeds your knowledge.  It just means the world still fascinates you. >

There’s questions and then there’s dumb questions.
Trust me, there is a difference. In school I had a somewhat hard time paying attention, so I often would ask the teacher to further explain a subject so I could (in my words) understand it properly. Which is great, had it not been for the rest of the class lamenting it because they’d already understood it because the teacher had already explained it while I wasn’t paying attention.
It didnt happen that often and thankfully didnt scar me to the point where i was afraid of asking questions, but I am empathetic to people with similar experiences being afraid of asking questions. >

As Mr Garrison so eloquently put it:
"Remember, kids, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people!"
Although it was meant as a kind of insult, what with it being South Park and all, it does make sense -- if you don't ask questions you will remain a stupid person. >

I love how that word works with or without the extra “r”. >

I had to read it a few times before I understood what you were talking about...childrren? Jurrassic? Parrk?
