Asking the Stupid Questions Since 1971
Barnum and Dilbert
For a long time, I felt that I was surrounded by idiots, that I was a Superior Intellect. It's only recently, comparatively speaking, that I decided to change my assumptions, and assume that people are not completely stupid. I did not find humility so much as I found respect.
But I've read a number of things over the past few days that are encouraging me to revise my opinion. Not that my fellow observers are stupid, but that the authors are.
Is there guile behind that apparent idiocy, the search for gullible believers with spare change in their pockets? Are these snake oil salesmen, carnival barkers, hucksters looking for an easy mark? Have they deceived themselves as well as the audience?
