 Is it a sign of stupidity to think everyone else is stupid? I wonder about this a lot. I know a few people that constantly complain about how stupid people are. But I hear their complaints and think they are actually pretty stupid too. I think a lot of people are stupid and the irony is that stupid people think I’m stupid. Maybe this is the point where being overly philosophical is no longer useful, but we’ve all been wrong on something before so how do we know we aren’t the stupid ones? If you think you know something, then everyone else who disagrees with you seems stupid. But they think the same thing about you. And you can’t be right about everything so you will be considered stupid to someone at some point. Are we all just retards? Should we just embrace it? Probably.
