An idiot? If you don't think so...

Whoever you are speaking with, or reading, comes across as cogent, simple but true, solid, and right?  Just keep them talking or keep reading.  Eventually you will find it.  Now, there are levels of idiocy, mind you.  There is the simple, humble, idiot.  These folks are actually a pleasure to deal with.  Often they do understand their state, but know there is little to do about it, so set about to live kind lives.  A joy, I tell you.  Then there are those who are just bright enough to nearly pass.  Often they don't know they are idiots.  They read something and believe they now know how the universe works.  They hear something, and that makes them knowledgeable.  Then there are those who are above average.  They aren't your typical idiot, and defy the definition in most ways.  Until, as I suggested, they talk or write more.  Eventually you see it.  And, the rarest of idiots are the geniuses.  Oddly, as with the humble idiot, they actually stand out like a sore thumb.  While they do actually understand much, they often have no capacity to action, and knowing how something works doesn't always mean that they can do a thing about it.  In this sense, the humble idiot is often superior, because while he may not know, he often can and will do.

It's an interesting world.  And we are all idiots.  We are often ignorant no matter our education, and the more of the latter the worse the ignorance more often than not.  But that doesn't mean I have to be gloomy about it.  Get out, meet and great the other idiots.  Figure out what motivates their folly, what areas are weaker and stronger in yourself and them, and build on that.  If given a pile of manure, too much time, and no real options, sculpt a friend?  :)

A bit more breakfast was enjoyed.  A few other things were done, including taking medicine and a bit of research on a number of topics.  I found my art supplies, and even have some actual art paper with some bite, for when I work up to charcoal.  I did, actually, need to turn the thermostat back up.  My muscles hurt and I was getting very sleepy.  My body just isn't ready for my usual way of life, and the cold.  I stayed up as long as I could, but being too cool will require me to take a nap, which I am about to do.  After?  Noodles, I hope.  No trip to town, too worn from the activities of late and yesterday's trip.  Noodles and cooking a roast, I think, will be about it.  Hmm?  Yeah.  Though, maybe steam vacuuming a bit.  Dunno.  I'll think more when I wake.  Alarm will be set.  Later.
