Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

Break what 4th wall? how is asking people if they think theyre smart 4th wall breaking? Breaking the 4th wall is used to refer to a fictional character that recognizes they are fictional. The 4th wall being the perspective of the viewer of said fictional content since in visual media you have a "stage" where you are looking at the scene from one side and in a typical room set youll have 3 visible walls and the imaginary wall in the direction of the camera thats actually not there.

Im really curious what you thought it meant tho cuz it doesn't seem like you meant the above definition.
