7 lesser-known facts about fools & stupidity


1. You can’t talk somebody out of stupidity.
As much as you would like to, as much as it seems reasonable to try (just this once), it doesn’t ever work. No attempt to reason will ever not go over their heads. Idiots by definition filter out the logic in everything they hear and choose to latch onto the nonsense. They hold to something, not because they think it’s right, but because it would take thought to change, they would have to consider, perhaps even learn stuff, they would have to go through the anguish of deep thought. Deep thought, calculation, analysis, all are anathema to the idiot.

No matter how obvious their stupidity is, the fool will hold to it because sooner or later, the person trying to talk them out of it will give up and go away and they won’t feel threatened any more. The comfort of having an actual opinion on something is more important to them than the rightness of that opinion.

2. The world is full of them
They are all over the fucking place. Your family, your work-place, the evening news, the people the next table over in IHOP, you can’t escape them. They talk loudly so as to identify themselves to one another, they insist on emailing you shit that some other idiot emailed to them. Humanity is infested. They hide behind religion and race, to get us to believe that those are the real problems. They camouflage their stupidity in order to survive, the same way some fish will change color to blend into their environment.


3. They don’t know that they are stupid
They are oblivious to the wrongness of their ideas and decisions. A fool will put a great deal of effort into justifying an action that is clearly wrong rather than admitting that it was wrong and moving on to something else. That proverb about “beating a dead horse”? That was about fools. Fools never ever admit being wrong about something, everything they have ever done was right, no matter the consequences. This goes back to the fool’s allergy to deep thought.
They are also fond of Umbrella Justification, which is using one detail to make everything else right. Example: If the leader of, say, a company, is a Christian, then his decisions are Christian, and therefore legitimate, if he uses sweat-shops that employ 3 year-old kids, then sweat-shops must be a good thing. If a band puts out a good album, then everything else they put out afterwards must also be good, and so on. This keeps the fool from having to reconsider or consider a bunch of details.

4. Politics is about using the stupids
The more I look at politics (especially the conservative and hardcore socialist kinds) the more practical it seems given that there are so many fools. Here is a school of thought that instead of trying to convert fools, has chosen to exploit them. Given that fool-conversion is impossible exploitation seems to be the most rational course. If you can get them to vote you in and stand slack-jawed while you your buddies line your pockets, why not pander to them? If you can manipulate them into giving you immense power by riling them into a jingoistic froth, then it would be foolish not to. By being gullible and refusing to think, foolish people have reduced themselves to being a resource, a commodity, free for the taking.

5. They don’t change/go away
Foolishness is immutable. People don’t get wise with age, they don’t suddenly get tired of being stupid and just change their ways. A lightbulb doesn’t just "come on" one day. If your town is populated by fools, move away. They are a species separate from humanity, creatures that we have been deceived into thinking are like us, but they are not. You don’t expect your dog to be come human, you shouldn’t expect a fool to become a non-fool.

6. Consequences mean nothing to them
Being able to form a link between personal actions and the consequences of those actions would take thought, and a will to reconsider. We have already gone over the fools’ allergy to these things. They can and do suffer, but the fault is somebody else’s always some other person of another race, from another state, some politician that they did not vote into office. Fools love their scapegoats.

7. Ignoring them causes trouble
If you go about pretending that they don’t exist, or that their numbers are small, then you basically you are ignoring mankind’s oldest menace. They are a cancer and bad shit happens when you ignore cancers. Besides that, they act up when you don’t pay attention to them, by “pay attention” I mean shamelessly use them for your own ends. Fools left up to their own devices are just people for your enemies to mobilize and use against you. You need to speak to them on their own wavelength, step down and pretend to be one of them. Fools like condescension.

Good stuff TTE!

I'm using that for a blog but I'll give credit to you! LOL

That way I don't have to think about it or defend it with rational logic...

LMAO

I'm happy somebody put this thread up. My heart goes out to that young lady. Not the worse beating I've seen (at least from what's shown) but the betrayal and ambush and constant beating on this girl who already cowered down - not to mention videoing it for the world to see has irked me to no end.

Knuckles&Knees

Maybe God won't, but the Vice Lords in jail will if she pays them. And Lord help you if you get sodomized by two of the most well-hung black dudes in jail.

(speaking of the two boys watching guard outside the house during the beating)

Knuckles&Knees

JKD,

Not to zero in on you, because you are cool with me. So, don't take this as a personal attack on you, and don't even accept it if it does not resonate with you as true, but maybe you can just consider it for food for thought today or 2 years from now.

There is an old Hebrew proverb: "If you are merciful to the cruel you will end up being cruel to those that deserve mercy."

I was once told by an American, Floridian, Sufi Muslim who's family originally hailed from the Balkans and has kept true and devote to Sufism ever since, that Islam overtook the region of Espana or Spain during a time period when the Christians of Spain could no longer adequately address and respond to the social ills running rampant at the time. (whoa... that was one long sentence wasn't it?) You may or may not be aware that when the Muslim conquered that collective Iberian region or kingdoms known as "Spain" they did so with a fair amount of ease. Many even converted fairly quickly and easily to Islam.

I'm not suggesting everyone who commits a crime or who is violent in some way be hammered. I mean a person environment, causes, and history has to be taken into account. Mercy is good, it can transform hearts and societies, at the same time you can not just only grant mercy to every prick or pricks and cunts leveling violence on the vulnerable (with no mercy on the victim as in this case) and not bring a certain mercy to that victim or victims. That is not justice. And teaches others if they want justice they must take in their own hands.

Little Apple

TTE~ That was beautiful.

The girl should go back to school and join a gym. It'll be harder on her to rejoin her social groups after having run away than if she just sticks with it.

I am probably one of the most logical people you will find. You can't see my logic is your problem.

I am one of the most level headed people and I stay cool in the most brutal situations.
__________

I practice what I preach, Love, Respect, and protection to the innocent and I stand for what is right.

Calling people idiots and having a 7 line definition post about is not right. 6 people beating the crap out of another is not right even if the person was talking shizzle about them. Grow the f*** up and move on. If you stay in the now you can not go to the then or when.

You can poke fun at my belief in God, I do not claim a set religion because they have all be corrupted over the 4000 years they been in existance. They all have Truths spread through all of them but not one is right. I know this because I do. I can explain how I know or why I know but it will to the ones that ask me but the rest will not believe me. The people on this planet see with there eyes but not there mind and soul so it is something they can not understand.
Just remember that there can be that day that either your time has come or someone or something makes it come fast and you are looking at the end and are afraid of what now? I don't want to go, I will just be nothing and you want to cry and say sorry and there is no after life for you or a kingdom in the sky waiting for you it because you did not believe in God. You might try to repent but only 1 knows if you will be accepted. It's a cold reality that you can be worm food. The ones that believes joins God and has the chance to have their life remembered in the after life but now you are on a different plane that is here also. You will have all your questions answered and then God decides what happens to you but you will have all your questions ever after and living again differently.

We are not animals.

Ever seen an Angler fish? Like MEN this fish can lure it prey with a yummy worm... But it's a lie. They are enticed and consumed by deception.
Woe to the man who is wise in his own eyes...

What, are you a suicide bomber?

JKDBrando

Only on days that end in "Y".

No I am not. Suicide bombers are dumb. Allah is not real just a made up religion from the Roman Catholic Church to cause conflict and war. The RC wants to control the world.

Phui... Perhaps you should educate yourself on religious history before you spew this rhetoric?

I have.. thats why I said it. I already tried to tell the you guys that what is up but I just get the blah blah blah attitude in return.

I will say this again, the world is not what it seems and it will change for the worst.
They want to cut the population of the world from 7 Billion down to 500 Million, there won't be familiar faces after that and all the survivors will be slaves and so will thier offspring.

The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for this, they do not speak the Word of God.
