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.

Hope is useless; it is intellectually lazy and requires no action.

Probably depends upon what one means with it.

Giving up is the worst. Hope is the antidote in that case.

I was in no way advocating inaction. Some people seem to be very demoralized, feeling like crap and have given up, I mean that's not what we need.

You, and you alone, have been given a quest by God to save humanity!

The quest is not about sitting in a sofa.

I agree that it's dark, especially the last 2-3 years which feel like 10+ years of decline compressed into 2-3 years. We need all we can get at this point, and use every method available.
