Think about how stupid the average person is...
 

Haha!

Very true.

I can be intelligent only in what I know to make some sense in what I don't know.......and that's how I read the news.

some kind of George Carlin tv special on Saturday night up here in Canada

Most of the healthcare providers that I have spoken to in the last few weeks still think the economy will turn around soon..They are not alternative media freaks like us. That is for sure.

“The best argument against democracy is a five minute
conversation with the average voter.” ~ Winston Churchill

I've wrestled with this argument for a very long time. People who express this are revealing their own sense of intellectual superiority to the average man. What I see isn't stupidity. It's brainwashing, and very tight control over their incomes and finances that makes them behave and think the way they do. Some people resist the brainwashing, and can't cut through to others still under its influence, so they attribute this frustration to stupidity. For god's sake, think what it was like for you before you 'wised up'. Were you stoopid way back then? Have a little empathy for these folks, they'll come around sooner than most of us think.


Hatha

I agree Hatha,

There is a difference between stupid and ignorant, most people aren't stupid they are ignorant because they don't know any better, all they know is what they have been brainwashed with, If you show the and teach them they will not be ignorant, but alas some folks are just stupid.

You're only stupid if you are ignorant... and PROUD of it.

If That were True Hatha.......The world could not have gotten this bad.

There would have been a mass awakening long before any of us were even born.

Yet society as whole is lead by our collective nose to salughther house by these sociopaths.

I hold out little hope for my brethren.

The best one can aspire to is to find a small collective of the awake and plant roots there

"You're only stupid if you are ignorant... and PROUD of it"

Yes, the willfully ignorant are a burden. Actively ignorant.

Stupidity is deeply entrenched in our society:

Noticed grocery shopping today the sheer number of people that seem to mindlessly float from one decision to the next with no actual idea of what they're doing, or where they are going, or what is going on around them.

It's as though they're on some kind of la-la land drug. You can even see it in their eyes. They're drugged up on something, maybe it's 1000mg tablets of stupid. ?

I'm not the guy you see madly rushing around pushing though everyone like an egocentric shit either. I'm polite, patient, and I take a leisurely pace, but I can at least process my next decision on the fly before I decide to execute it.

My take is they are chemmed out on toxins, and over fluoridated. Perhaps prescription meds on top of it all.

Today was particularly strange. Lots of people.
