dumbass question

"Do you think I'm stupid?" is possibly the dumbest question ever - and it (or its variants, e.g. "Do you take me for a fool?") is asked pretty damn often.

• Anyone who asks that is obviously stupid to begin with
• That question clearly invites the answer "yes, dumbass"
• Even if you said "no" you'd be lying through your teeth. and bloody patronising

I hate stupidity. The only thing I hate more than stupidity is people who are content with being stupid. Because there's this perfidious breed of human that yes, is stupid, and no, doesn't try to change things.

It's easy to get smart. All you have to do is think. If you'd try to think up one thought a day that was worth remembering, you'd be on your way already. Even the judgement call, that of quality, (I mean deciding whether a thought was worth keeping or not) requires some productive thought.

It's not a slippery slope, being ignorant. And I hate people who simply wallow in it, who could catch up but just don't bother. It is the worst human sin, the lowest form of sloth, the purest degeneracy, and there're front-row seats in hell reserved for these people. How true it is, that life is very often wasted on the living.
