Did you know?

Guess what? There are stupid people everywhere! Somehow, stupidity has managed to defy the natural order of things, and has grown to be an absurdly common trait!!!
But, did you also know, that most stupid people don't realize they are stupid? So, you or I could be stupid, and not realize it, spreading it unknowingly to the population at large. What is the cure for stupidity?
Unfortunately, the cure for stupidity isn't as simple as the cure for ignorance... The acquisition of knowledge is not enough to rid oneself of stupidity. Stupidity is a step higher than ignorance- the problem lies in the processing of information, not the presence of it. This make stupidity difficult, if not impossible, to cure. But fear not! Even if stupidity cannot be cured, one may at least treat it to some degree.

The first step to treating stupidity is realizing that there are other humans who can be affected by *gasp* what YOU do. That's right, you do influence other people (proximity of influence may vary) and the world around you. So, if you realize that your actions can help or hurt others, then you just might start to THINK about what you do, and even perhaps WHY you do things.

The next step is a bit more difficult-  learn the difference between reality and not. Yes, there are some things that people will debate as being real or not, but there are some things that are UNQUESTIONABLY fiction. This includes much of the content of television and videogames. So, understand that reality shows don't dictate social norms, glittery vampires aren't real, and that it is generally frowned upon to behave as you would in 'shoot'em up' games.

There is so much more you can do to treat stupidity. But, I'll let you figure out the next steps. After all, you have a brain. It's good for you to use it occasionally.
