Stupidity: Part One Million
People are stupid. Everyone knows that.
But here's the thing. We're all people.
We all try to deny it and think we're the exception, but we all do dumb things. How many times have you criticized a driver for something that you did five minutes earlier? "Well, yeah. But I was in a hurry! It's totally different!"
"You don't know that we had two different Roosevelts as president? Your so stupid! What's that? It's 'you're'? Whatever."
I know I've talked about this before, but it's good to periodically remind myself that we all have holes in our knowledge that would seem silly to others. So we should try to give others the benefit of the doubt.
