Loyal Order of The Overlander; Athena Afficianado
Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor the use of force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Hanlon’s Razor

Saw this on another forum. It may not be an exact quote attributed to Damian Barr but probably is the jist of it.

We are NOT all in the same BOAT. We are in the same STORM.

Some have yachts, some have canoes and some are DROWNING.

Just be kind and help when you can.
