There Is No Such Thing As Stupid But “GOOD”

There is no such thing as stupid but “GOOD”

Goodness is inseparable from intelligence

 

Goodness requires intelligence and wisdom

Not high-IQ-intelligence

Not book-wisdom

But it requires intelligence to see what is what

And it requires wisdom to see what is right

 

Seeing what-is-what is not the knowing-all or even the knowing-lot,

It’s mostly seeing what one can see, and not what one can’t see, with the eyes of delusion

Just seeing what can be seen

Seeing the few truths which actually matter

 

And that is how you treat others

That is if your actions are bettering yourself

And bettering your brothers and sisters

Without complicating this

 

And I don’t mean to simplify the great problems of the world

I’m just calling you to NOT over-complicate them

 

You know if the stupid shit you sell benefits others or not

You know if particular industrial activity solves more problems then it creates, or the opposite

(E.g. I think having warm house and light in the evening is a worthy problem to solve, despite a few side effects; etc)

You know if what you teach others is sincere or not

You know if what you preach is genuine experience and genuine contemplation — and not some nonsense you overheard or read somewhere or heard your mother or priest or guru or idol or clique or group rant about

Be simple about it first

 

When we start acting like we know more then we do

And like we’re more perceptive and intelligent then we are

That’s when trouble starts

That’s when delusion starts

And this delusion is the evil and the poison which infects your entire life, your entire being, and entire groups of beings and their lives

And then when you speak of goodness and the better world — you’re committing evil in your small world

You’re deluded, you’re a fool, and you’re also evil

 

There is no such thing as stupid but “GOOD”

Goodness is inseparable from intelligence

You can’t support your good intentions with idiotic actions. Incompetence is not neutral but immoral. You do more harm then good

You can’t have good intentions in the subject in which you’re an idiot

If you have no idea how to organise society — then you have no business talking about politics, let alone doing it

If you have no idea how the world is fuelled and why it’s fuelled and what other ways it could be fuelled and how much fuel we need or don’t need and what are the consequences of all that and what AREN’T the consequences of all that and what consequences are unknown — then you probably have no business talking about global warming

See you’re just a stupid fool in those subjects — and in every area in which you are stupid — you can only do harm

Therefore you’re not good

You’re just trouble

 

I call you to recognise ignorance as EVIL

And rid yourself of that evil

And don’t confuse it for nothing else when you see it

Oh and we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions

That’s because goodness is inseparable from intelligence

And there’s no such thing as “stupid but good”
