I have idiotophobia. Basically when I see somebody stupid, or see the effects of stupidity, I feel pain and rage. In the first years of my life I didn't see a lot of stupidity, because mostly everything had rational explanation. Right after the start of XXI century, stupidity started spreading over any imaginable levels. I almost forgot how it is to feel laid back and trust people's intelligence. I consume a lot of alcohol to anesthetize my brain in order to not feel pain and rage because of the epidemic of stupidity.

Were you sent to this planet to act as a judge and arbitrator of that which is stupid?

Does judging others' intelligence levels and decision-making capabilities make you an overall happier human being?

Have you tried to put yourself in the shoes of other people, and understand why they are doing what they do, or acting the way that they are?

And, if they are stupid, why get mad at them?

My cat is stupid as fuck, and sometimes I get mad at him for being stupid.

But then I take a step back, and realize that I am the stupid one for expecting a cat to act rationally.

Like everyone else, most of your problems are of your own making.
