Most people I meet are stupid. Now, nobody likes to be labeled as stupid because they don’t want to know the truth about themselves, that they’re more useful dead than alive. The vast majority of those that meet me for the first time don’t believe that I’ve worked as a College Professor, or that I make a living as a writer. In fact, many have stopped talking to me because they believe I make a living doing something illegal, something criminal. It’s easier for them to believe that I’m just a criminal, than to accept that I’m one of the most famous bestselling writers in the entire planet. The ones that reach the next level, will ask me if I belong to any secret organization, if I speak to demons or if I channel the dead, or even if I steal information from the internet and other authors. Now, what they can’t see, is that the more they talk such things, the more they show me their real nature. They are very, really very, stupid. They can’t see an elephant in front of their nose; they can’t see an intelligent human being in front of their face; they are indeed very stupid and that’s a fact, not an assumption. Robin Sacredfire
About This Quote

The saying, "Most people I meet are stupid. Now, nobody likes to be labeled as stupid because they don't want to know the truth about themselves, that they're more useful dead than alive" is used to describe people who are perceived as dumb or uneducated. The author goes on to say that most people who meet him for the first time don't believe he is a Professor or makes a living writing books. This quote shows how our world is changed by technology and social media.

People no longer go out of their way to meet others in person, but rather use this technological change to label others before getting to know them. The saying also implies that people are now more willing to join organizations like the mafia and the KKK because they want to achieve what they see as success instead of wasting time working hard for success.
