Oh, so many jokes, so little time…
Stupidity is neither ignorance nor organicity, but rather, a corollary of knowing and an element of normalcy, the double of intelligence rather than its opposite. It is an artifact of our nature as finite beings and one of the most powerful determinants of human destiny. Stupidity is always the name of the Other, and it is the sign of the feminine. This course in Critical Psychology follows the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze, and most recently, Avital Ronell, in a philosophical examination of those operations and technologies that we conduct in order to render ourselves uncomprehending. Stupidity, which has been evicted from the philosophical premises and dumbed down by psychometric psychology, has returned in the postmodern discourse against Nation, Self, and Truth and makes itself felt in political life ranging from the presidency to Beevis and Butthead. This course examines stupidity.

It’s OK, pedro. I realize your entire self image depends upon you seeing yourself as a grand legend in your own mind.
I’ll be seeing you around, mi amigo.
#61 Thank for thinking of me as a legend. May it lives on.
#43, Mr. G. Reaper,
With all due respect (and that is substantial), asking pedro an intelligent question, is, well, stupid.
#62 The king of stupid rants has talked. So I would take his opinion on the subject very serously.
#64, ‘dro,
