The problem is that people want to lay all the blame for misconstruing complicated scenarios on someone else, in as simplistic a fashion as possible so they don't feel a need to listen to any facts in their proper contexts and actually "think" about why any *given* person doesn't think and doesn't even know that they aren't.

IOW If you believe you know the answers, it's highly probable that many questions weren't asked and many real answers were discarded in favor of a simplistic but unreal "catch-all" picture.

Those who stop looking past 2 feet for any reason they've chosen, have zero comprehension of what a mile is and don't know that they don't have it.

America is getting dumber because Americans are on a trend of believing that they already know everything at the age of 10 and stop learning...and the schools have to follow that trend in order to have anyone graduate so they can qualify for funding. "No child left behind" means that the slowest person in the class sets the pace. Whoever thinks that an operational "premis" [all were created equal] means that all must *stay* equal... is that slow child setting that pace. Those on the leading edge of the bell curve drop out from sheer boredom and learn on their own by following insatiable curiosity, often founding cutting edge industries without having degrees.

Meanwhile, others on the planet, living in a far more toxic environment, have not stopped themselves from learning anything they can and are well on their way to running us average slow poke know-nothing know-it-alls blaming toxins for being stupid vs **recognizing** stupidity of self, itself....down.

Those who exceeded the pace of the *no child* who wasn't left behind, must have cheated us who stuck with the "plan". Right??

Yea, right.

Well, the fact is that some folks just can't stand to not know, so they make up stories so they can stop looking.
If you "know",  then you are smart?  [ Oh Kaaayyy....Buy "this" ! ]
NOT SO SWIFT!  [...stuck with an un-payable payment plan and no product ]
This guy is a rapist just because I dropped my drawers in an ally and feel screwed....so *that* guy isn't.

.....it's really the other way around.
It's what you don't "buy" that keeps you shopping.

5th graders don't often believe they have it all figured out. Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Blaming something on some "them" who , by definition, has the least interest in repairing the supposed situation, is like putting truck brakes on a roller skate.

 Stopped yourself dead in your tracks?
Yup, but at least you are "right" [ about not being able to solve a problem ] and that's comfortable.

Get a grip.
Things are screwed up BECAUSE they aren't simple, have been MADE complicated by simpletons who disagree on what they tossed out .....and tossing little pieces of what wasn't tossed out into another simpleton barrel doesn't un-complicate anything.

In a field of apparently random dots, the dots can be connected to look like any picture one wants to see. [which is usually any picture *other than* the one you have constructed that you don't like because you can't understand complicated nonsense, therefore, pick any simplistic nonsense that you get sold]

..and once that picture is formed, one stops looking at all the dots that don't fit.
It's
"I know that I don't know, therefore I seek"
 vs
"I don't know that I don't know, therefore I whine "
in a field of the unknown and quite probably unknowable.

So.  What's the real problem?
 NO ONE can fully understand nonsense, but virtually no one knows that.

Everyone believes that nonsense should make sense and tries to cram their nonsensical version of sense made out of it, into a frame that's far too small to hold the picture. Then, endless argument over which too small frame works to MAKE sense out an overwhelming nonsense not even recognized as existing. A partial nonsense doesn't make a greater nonsense make sense, but that's what we do...seeking comfort in riskless helplessness...damned if you do and damned if you don't, so blame somebody that doesn't care at all...anyone, else, will do.

We're ALL idiots... just because we don't believe we can be that stupid.

Humm.....just look around in disbelief.
 We most certainly CAN be that stupid.
..and no idiot ever made another idiot smarter by being MORE stupid.

Sometimes I just don't believe myself. I stare in disbelief at what I once believed. That's a start that, if it's ever finished, spells the end to any possibility of the sensible.

Those who "know" are DOOMED. [ to helplessly live their creation in the comfort of knowledge claimed as true, when the whole truth is bigger than even CAN be acknowledged even if we DO use the limited tools we DO have TO USE, properly]

Ode

The builders of personal reality creed:
"Gee, that looks like shit, but at least it took a long time and hurt a lot" [ Maaaybe I oughta scrap it and call wasted time and effort a waste? ]
Naww... God gave me the ability to swing a hammer, sore thumbs are HIS fault.
Now look what you made me do! [But, you see. God doesn't care what you do with hammers. It's not at all hard to see: "They know not what they do"...despite any nonsensical beliefs. ]

No problem, just pass it along to those you know, and hopefully they'll do the same.
