About This Quote
This quote is very true. There are many people who are stupid. It’s hard to fight stupidity effectively, but you can make it easier with the following tips: 1. Understand that stupidity is contagious.
If you are stupid, then you can spread that stupidity to others. If you want to stop spreading stupidity, then avoid spreading stupid ideas and behaviors to others. 2. One way to avoid spreading stupid ideas and behaviors is to eliminate them from your life entirely.
If you think someone else may be a little stupid, then bring them into your life as little as possible. This might seem contrary to how people typically treat those who have been exposed to their stupidity, but it does work. You can certainly talk to them about their ideas or behaviors if it helps them feel better, but do so only in a supportive way. 3.
If you must participate in a group or activity with a person who is a lot smarter than you, then do what you can to contribute something intelligent to the group or activity so that your friend or partner doesn’t have to spend all of his energy on figuring out what dumb idea you just told him/her there was going on at the table. 4. Learn how to tell other people when they are being stupid, even if that means telling them that they are being stupid even though they aren’t admitting it themselves.
For example, if a friend says something really dumb—maybe something like “I think we should go for an ice cream cone”—try saying something like “I think we should go for an ice cream cone” instead of letting your friend say whatever he/she wants because he/she thinks it sounds dumb! 5. Don’t take stupid people too seriously, especially if they happen not be close friends or family members. They often aren’t very smart and don’t mean any harm by the things they say and do; they just don’t know any better and sometimes lack the ability to put things into context and understand the consequences of their actions and words.
6. When you hear dumb comments or ideas from others, try talking about them with someone who sees things differently than the speaker does. For example, someone might say: “That movie was so boring!” And you might reply: “Yeah, I could barely stay awake during that whole thing!” Then later on that person
