Stupidity, unfortunately, is not only stopping human progress, it’s also a bigger threat to humankind than wickedness. Let me explain how.
People are basically good. When seeing acts of wickedness, most people will react. As a reflex response, most people will not tolerate acts of wickedness. They instinctively know that the related acts of wickedness have to be exposed and should be brought to justice, then, locked away for good…
-Given this, then why is wickedness so prevalent in our society?
The answer lies in stupidity. Stupidity is such an enemy of the good that it is a bigger threat to humankind than inherent wickedness with all its variations.
We know that since time-memorial, humans have shown countless acts of wickedness, malicious behavior or downright evil. However, this article is not a focus on how the human dark side is possible. It focusses instead on how ordinary decent people could lend their unwavering support to perpetrators of wickedness.
-This is a key distinction in relation to how the world really works.
The logic of wickedness
Wickedness tries to lead you into darkness. That’s because it want’s something. If you are aware and awake you can see right through the angle from where wickedness is coming from. You can do something about it.
However, when wickedness plays out to the stupid, there is no defense against it. The stupid and their acts of stupidity will lose out every time.
Who are the stupid ones?
Firstly, the stupid ones are NOT (not necessarily) people having a low intelligence or are uneducated.
No! The stupid one’s, with their acts of stupidity, are those who have given up thinking for themselves.They have handed over the capacity to think for themselves to another person or a group of persons.
This could be in relation to solidarity, a slogan, theory, ideology, belief system or something that promises rewards…
In other words, those who have given up thinking for themselves are no longer able to listen to the voice of reasoning. They cannot hear rational, critical thinking, because they have designated all reasoning to someone else. —Call it “borrowed reasoning.”
Acts of stupidity can be at their strongest from individuals who have been granted higher power. These so-called higher-standing individuals may have been given this position by those with group powers.
The equation is quite simple: In your association, the more powerful a group becomes, the easier it is to stop thinking for yourself.
Identity costs versus pay-offs
There are pay-offs when you give up thinking for yourself: A sense of feeling safe, you’ll never be branded an outcast. Never be ostracized for indifference. You have ready-provided answers and a sense of identity: A feeling of belonging…
However, there are costs. Loss of true power and identity, easily manipulated, you could become a victim… Victims are by definition those who, in truth, can’t think, act, feel and truly be themselves. That’s why they run into circumstances where they become victims.
Someone else’s vehicle
What the stupid person doesn’t realize in their stupidity is that they are merely someone else’s vehicle. In their delusion, living in a bubble, they believe that they’ve chosen the big winning team…
Monsters of the world are not the real culprits
The monsters of the world haven’t caused the misery, death and suffering that’s rife on this Earth, such as, for examples, fomented world wars, manufactured fake pandemic diseases such as Covid along with genocidal vaccines, fabricated false terror attacks… etc., etc.….
No, ultimately, the biggest causers of these atrocities is down to the millions of ordinary people of the world who gave up thinking for themselves. They handed over their judgements to someone else while no longer questioning anything. In their idle, stand-down, blind stupidity, they remained willfully obedient, while the world ripped itself apart.
The repeater technique is a well-worn ploy to get people to believe in lies. People in their stupidity learn to repeat the lies that’s been given to them by an authority person or group movement, without ever questioning.
Most never go beyond what the mainstream media tells them. Some just skim the headlines, thinking that’s all they need to know…
They’re told to hate certain individuals. Some, in their blind stupidity attack these individuals only because they were told to hate them, as they had been deemed the “enemy.” -Never mind about finding out what these hated people have to say for themselves… As Albert Einstein said: “Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.”
Many millions of these stupid people, such as those who are in the world today, are well-educated, have good jobs…, but they’re so steeped in stupidity, they don’t even realize that they’ve stopped thinking for themselves. –They don’t even know that they don’t know.
Even worse, they get the idea that they are more alert, sharper than most people. -This is why these idiots can never be reached, how they are having such a significant hand in the cause of so much misery and suffering in the world.
-This is why stupidity is a bigger threat to humankind than sickness.
Finally
These stupid people need to wake up and realize that their own thoughts opinions, judgments, viewpoints…, are more important to them than other people’s. It takes courage to realize this and act. Stupidity is not cured by obtaining more information. Ultimately, it’s cured by acts of courage.
-Dare we escape our comfort zone and be ourselves?
