"You are smarter than me."
or
"You are smarter than I."
Because generally speaking "I" is a subject and "me" is an object, but then if you add "am" as the final word, the first choice falls apart.
Is it something about the word "than" that makes the next noun a subject instead of an object? I'm a little drunk and not sure what the answer is.

If you add 'am', 'I' is the one doing the aming.

When you are a mediocre editor (as I undoubtedly am), grammar fantodry is unavoidable.
Thanks for the insight, y'all.
