SMART PEOPLE NEEDED

Submitted by ub on

It has been said that a word to the wise is not necessary— it’s the stupid folks who are dangerous and need advice.

When we know something or someone is evil, we can take steps to fight it. With stupidity, it is much more difficult.  

Research proves that stupidity is worse than evil because stupidity can be manipulated and used by evil.  

Also, stupidity tends to go hand-in-hand with acquiring power — that is, being in power means we surrender our critical faculties.

They are in their way 🔝 🆙 ⬆️ Stupid people mess up, foul up, and screw up. In a world in which intelligence is adaptive, stupid people obtain less value, and they suffer the consequences. To combat stupidity, society has invented education and training. Used wisely, education and training can build skills and even raise intelligence itself. 
 

However, it is also popular to say you can bring a horse to water but you can not make it drink!
