"Stop Being Stupid."

How many of our problems could be solved by applying this simple admonition? I would say the vast majority of them. My career in the law has been a prime example of what results from ignoring this rule. All sorts of puerile idiocy is tolerated in the law and in the justice system. The result, predictably enough, is an idiotic system that is so choked with nonsense that it barely works. Similarly, in the broader society, we are strangling ourselves, committing suicide, with the manner and variety of stupidity that we tolerate and even encourage. It doesn't have to be this way. It is not necessary. It is one of the by-products of liberalism run rampant. So stop being stupid. Don't listen to stupid, don't tolerate stupid, don't indulge stupid. We cannot afford to be stupid anymore.
