Why the fuck are people so dumb?

I think it's innate in most people.

It's just that some people have better breaks on the dumb than others.

Being stupid is 'easy' and 'cool' and being smart gets you weird looks.

Fuck humans, society, etc.

They key is to not give a fuck what most people think. Are you happy with you? Yes? Good enough.

Act like a dumbshit, and they'll treat you as an equal.

The problem is that some people aren't just acting.

Ignorant is a better word. Willful ignorance is the greatest enemy of our age. We can't stop the fight because its difficult, we will all suffer equally for it.

I'm reading "Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan, right now, and you pretty much just paraphrased an entire chapter.

same thing from first book of the sword of truth: the wizards first rule: people are stupid
they believe what they want because its convenient not because it makes sense but makes life easier

I think there is a difference between "dumb" and "willful ignorance." Some people are truly dumb, meaning that they are ignorant, but lack the capacity to go beyond that.

I fully agree with the last two sentences of your statement though.

I sometimes think that the "pursuit of happiness" may directly be in conflict with "the pursuit of knowledge." Hell if I know whether this is actually the case or if there is any way to resolve that or if one is actually more valid than the other.

Fanime baggage fees, $210, hopefully selling the hats should make up the cost of the trip

Man I had a great fucking chance to hit on a hot blonde chick at the Valu King store here (Basically a Giant Eagle, they sell all the same food except for $2-$3 cheaper)

She was helping her grandma (possibly mother, idk she had gray hair so I'm assuming grandmother) put stuff into plastic bags and I was contemplating going over to help, but I fucking didn't. Now I'm probably never gonna see her again.

I'm increasingly convinced that Didzo and I are the same person.

I've decided to spend my free time this summer learning game development with Unity, starting with this 273-part hack and slash tutorial.  This is gonna take a while.

Rad. Go for it.



In unrelated news, I keep getting spam texts/sometimes calls from random companies for shit like fake gift card redemption and such.

my replies via text usually involve gratuitous name calling and use of the word 'faggot'
