A certain thought has struck me several times in the last few months. More and more it seems that people are just (acting?) plain stupid. An increasing amount of people in my environment seem to be acting like simpletons. They’re people who don’t think much and who can’t answer questions that require more than the simplest thought processes, or if they do attempt to answer tougher questions, they don’t seem to be able to without getting either upset first.
It’s really annoying me to find out time and again that if you ask questions which aren’t that complex, people just stick with “I don’t know and I don’t care”. I find this attitude towards one’s surroundings quite annoying, and maybe even a little bit offensive.
The question that remains is, what can I do about this?
I’ll certainly follow up on this topic in the future.
For now I’m just putting the question out there.
TBC.
