The worst disease out there, and there's no vaccine for it, and no cure!

Isara · November 16, 2014, 06:53:18 PM

Stupidity, affects all people; all races, genders, ages, independently from access to food, water, heat, proper sanitation, technology and medicines. The first recorded case of stupidity was lost in time, and the earliest ones can easily be found in the oldest historical records.

This disease also affects both very, brilliantly intelligent people, and as well very unintelligent people at various times, rates and severity. Which can lead from mild physical or mental injury to severe ones, including death.

Animals, including household pets have shown hints of stupidity, and similar results. Yet we are worried about ebola, the flu, and cancer.

I need pointless vaccinations to act as a placebo for my ignorance.

Zizzy · November 16, 2014, 06:55:13 PM

Stupidity isn't going to have me sweating blood anytime soon, so I think I'll give it a back seat ftm.

Plato said that, and next thing that happened the Athenians built walls of wood around Athens thinking it can stop an entire enemy fleet from invading the city.

Indeed. You've gotta be selective with your Plato so as to avoid Verbatim-isms.

Plato... well pretty much every significant philosopher before the 20th century.

Ah. Thanks.

That makes me wonder if Verbatim is a communist.

Communism and antinatalism are incompatible.

I think it's called the Cave Analogy, it's supposed to represent how people start out as manipulable non-thinking sheep and eventually become enlightened as they step out of the cave.

I only know this crap because I'm taking philosophy right now.

I've been meaning to take a phil class but my schedule is so fucking packed that I can't find time for it.
