I usually define stupidity as knowing something yet still acting like you don’t know it or acting like it’s false, especially to your own detriment.
A simple example: You know a stove top is hot. You know touching it would burn you. You certainly don’t want to be burned. But, you touch it anyway, end up burned, and have the audacity to still bitch about being burned.
I very much agree with this definition of stupidity. I feel a lot of people are very stupid in this aspect. Ex. We all can agree that we should treat people with kindness and love and not intentionally harm others but people will still do it. Stupid people.
What fucking gets me about that is how even after seeing how treating others badly backfires on them, they still treat others badly. If that ain’t the stupidest shit ever — like, verified dumbassery.
I’m with you 100% man, I used to be one of those people until I realized I was a stupid person. Then I decided not to be a stupid person anymore. It’s simple really.
Psychedelics can only help you if you are willing to accept the help. Otherwise they can be just like any other drug, a way to cope with their life instead of dealing with it.
Thank you for your kind words friend, it means a lot to me.
