Talking to stupid people

I have spent many of the past days talking to what I call stupid people and I just feel like venting.

Here is my definition of stupid:  I+L=S (Ignorance + Laziness = Stupid)

There is nothing wrong with ignorance. It simply means you don't know. I don't know most things. Every day I am reminded that there is more and more that I am ignorant of. But if you are too lazy to look up the available facts? That I define as STUPIDITY. Most people I talk to about environmental are stupid.

The bigger problem though, are those who are not ignorant of the science but who are so greedy that they will sell their own children's future for a few worthless coins. These people are pure evil.

I hope that I have offended a great many people. Perhaps some of the stupid people will look at the facts and stop voting side issues. That takes you out of the stupid bin. It's really that easy.

As for the evil people. You are on notice. People are becoming less stupid every day and they are very angry. While stupid can be eliminated by knowledge, evil will be eliminated by a very large group of ex-stupid people.

There were too many good articles to choose. Be sure to read about Monsanto.

We Are All Apocalyptic Now: On the Responsibilities of Teaching, Preaching, Reporting, Writing, and Speaking Out

American Intellectuals' Widespread Failure to Stand Up to Billionaires and Authoritarian Power

The majority of intellectual work in the U.S. is actually helping to prop up our unjust distribution of wealth and power. 

In the face of multiple, cascading crises—economic and ecological, political and cultural—it is more important than ever to confront the reality of the threats we face. Based on a calm apocalypticism and a common-sense approach to intellectual life, We Are All Apocalyptic Now offers a framework for understanding our moment in history and the obligations of those who are trying to communicate that understanding to a wider world.
