I can't imagine anything more apt than a conversation about this subject on a forum made up of people who hold their own intelligence in a high regard. I assure you that your definition of "stupid" is short-sighted. I've pre-judged a good many of people in my life as such and have been proven wrong almost every time, provided I'd spent enough time to try to understand what makes that person think the way they do. We all have our methods. You might call them madness - or stupidity - but the moment you do, your ignorance becomes your bold weakness. tl;dr: Get over yourself. Downvotes... Let's continue the point... "Sometimes, so far as I can tell, they're stupid. Sorry." [1] "people do Stupid Things. And I call them stupid when they do them." [2] "Smart people also triage their time so as to not waste it going down likely unproductive avenues." [3] "Maybe politically correct people don't think others are stupid, but smart or not, there are definitely some morons out there." [4] "Define usually. More often than not when I hear "I don't know" it is offered as an excuse/explanation for laziness and shirking responsibility" [5] "Odds are that the all of the people from the article, and the author, are relatively stupid." [6] "Smart people don't think others are stupid as the truely smart know that others are stupid." [7] "at LEAST 15% of the world is stupid. That's just getting started."
