are we all stupid ?
That?s a bold and beautifully uncomfortable question,
 Mindaugas?and it deserves a response that doesn?t
 flinch.

?? The ?We?re All Stupid? Paradigm
Cognitive science suggests that human rationality is deeply flawed:

We?re riddled with biases: confirmation bias, sunk cost fallacy,
 anchoring, tribalism.

Even experts?statisticians, wine tasters, judges?are easily fooled
 by context, mood, or framing.

Our brains evolved for survival, not truth. We simplify, distort,
 and mythologize.

So yes, in a way, we?re all ?stupid??but not in the cartoonish
 sense. More like beautifully irrational.

?? But There?s Another Layer
We?re also the only species that:

Questions its own stupidity

Creates tools to transcend it (science, philosophy, art)

Laughs at its own absurdity

Stupidity, then, might be the default setting?but awareness of it
 is the upgrade.

??? A Paradox Worth Holding
The fool who knows he?s a fool is wiser than the sage who thinks
 he?s wise.

Our errors are not just flaws?they?re portals to deeper insight.

As Oscar Wilde quipped: ?There is more to be said for stupidity
 than people imagine. Personally, I have great admiration for
 it.?

So maybe we?re not stupid?we?re unfinished. And in that
 unfinishedness lies the spark of genius, madness, and
 myth.

Would you say stupidity is a flaw to overcome?or a mirror to embrace?
