Some Smart People Are Idiots
In a recent conversation with a friend- a brilliant one at that- SC&A came to a startling, and even remarkable, conclusion:
The second type of idiot is the one who thinks he/she/it are in a position to offer a fair critique. Usually, they refer to us in a highly sexualized manner, often displaying a rather obsessed view of certain sexual tendencies. This is usually followed by name calling. Generally speaking, they are overcompensating for latent sexual feelings, but we'll leave that between them and their mothers. You know who you are- and so do we.
To be clear, those types of idiots are irrelevant. In fairness, for the most part, they are young, and inexperienced in nuance and subtly- which perhaps explains their obsession with cartoons. These are the same people who see profound wisdom in Cartman of South Park. As a rule, their greatest achievement was a day care graduation ceremony. They find brilliance only in themselves (maybe we should get them a new trophy).
Then there are the smart idiots. In this area, age is not a factor. They can be younger or older. They don't understand the world around them. They cannot grasp the reality that not everyone can make Human Genome jokes and cannot fathom the difference between Mozart's commissioned works and those musical works he wrote for and by himself. There are the very bright blogging idiots, who, with a clearly complex or deceptively simple post, cannot fathom comments that are not on point, relevent or meaningful. They do not understand that blog readers are there simply to have a good time. Blog readers are not there as fodder to to inspire brilliant minds to higher thought.
We wondered if NG one such brilliant blogger. We thought so, at first- but then we realized, she is committed (yes, we like that word) to us.
At any rate we don't read those brilliant blogs- and neither should you. Your time would be best spent actually learning something, keeping up with the news or expanding your rather pedestrian minds. Consider these pages as good starting points. Try and spend some time here, here, or here.
Lots of smart people are idiots.Now to be clear, idiots come in many varieties. There are the idiots who we review. They are classic idiots, with no sense of anything other than their self absorbed, mundane lives.The only determination to be made is just how much of an idiot they really are.
