I found some quotes that might help clarify my stance on stupidity:
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of ignorance. ~A. Bronson Alcott
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge. ~Alfred North Whitehead
When I was younger, I was convinced that I could, with a few months or so's practice, make a videogame. I realized that videogame engineers were more intelligent than I am, but I had a severe underappreciation for the magnitude of their intelligence. Now I realise that it would take everyone at my office about a year and a half, if we all worked together and never lost any time to serious design flaws, to produce a decent videogame. I was so ignorant that I could not comprehend how much more intelligence there was to be had.
I want one sentence to sum up the picture I have in my mind. Maybe I'll just draw it.
FUKC MY NUTS. I sleep near thriving examples. Nashville, where art thou?
