Is it hard work to be smart? Do we think we are smart and have no idea that we are stupid? Do we desire the after effects of being stupid? Are we simply stupid?
Once upon a time, not very long ago: dunce-like, simple-minded and empty-headed and or plain stupid was not something that we humans strive for. So it became a surprise to me as I have come to an understanding that carrying on as if you are a “dolt”, is a desired outcome for some and actually way too many embrace such a style of existence…
The results that a person, organization, government, government agency, or anything else with a human focus continues to pursue are the ones they need, to want, thus desire and hope to reach. These are expressions of ideology that have to be appeased at all costs. Even if the cost is sanity…
This ideology is not grounded in reality. Like a desire for cheesecakes or an iPhone, it is solely a desire. A desire that surpasses all other considerations, including morality and fundamental truths…
It becomes painfully clear why people keep going; they continue to act as though they don’t know. They remain naive. They flirt with ignorance, because it behooves them. They often lie to themselves in addition to lying to you, and they even want to appear ignorant, stupid and foolish, even when they are not. As a result, they have accepted ignorance as an necessity to obtain the life they desire and they lie, cheat and degrade themselves and others to obtain just that…
It also becomes clear that they shape everything around them to fit their preferred existential way of living…
If you apply this idea to the pleb mindset and governments of the West and a few eastern governments. You have stupidity on a scale of billions of self-ignorant, self-hopeless, self-induced, self-indulgent people acting foolishly in order to achieve a self-desired outcome that suits their self-needs and self-mindset…
Even if everything else perishes along with them…
