Of course, we speak as if stupidity is external to our own cozy lives.
No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure we can all look back on times when we did something and then thought "Why did I do that? That was really stupid." The trick, of course, is not doing it a second time.
But if we're so smart, how do we manage never to be in control of what transpires?
I'm not quite sure I've caught your drift. Assuming you mean those things in our our lives, I think we control outputs as much as we can (by thinking about what we're doing) within the realm of those things that we can control. But...there's always going to be a chance that things just don't work out. Shades of Robbie Burns' little mouse.
Are those who are supposed to represent our interests stupid, or just corrupt? In either case, shame on us, no?
Or both.....and you can toss in greed. I'm not sure it means shame on us....unless we voted for the stupid, corrupt, greedy individuals more than once.
