   There's nothing dumber than becoming smart on Planet   
   Moronia.   
      
   All that accomplishes is heightening one's sense of   
   where and how things could be made better, which on   
   Planet Moronia means becoming increasingly aware of the   
   natives making everything worse every step of the way,   
   in every possible way - and then despising you for being   
   - relative to their inherent stupidity - a "know it all"   
   "fuckwit" that "speaks/writes in word salad".   
      
   That's how the majority sees anyone that raises their   
   wherewithal/skills game on Planet Moronia.   
      
   I know it feels tempting to become smarter. You think it's   
   going to improve your life, streamline it, increase the   
   fun/effort ratio, etc., etc.   
      
   And it does.   
      
   Except that it *effectively* doesn't, because the natives   
   of Planet Moronia vastly outnumber you, and await you   
   every step of the way to render your self /life / world   
   improvement efforts not merely meaningless, but literally   
   foolish.   
      
   You'll hear some of them say "you just need to let it   
   go". The more seemingly spiritual amongst them will even   
   couch what you need to do in terms of "non-attachment".   
      
   Thing is that for a Planet Moronia native, it's not   
   non-attachment: it's BEING TOO STUPID TO KNOW ANY BETTER,   
   TOO STUPID TO SEE FUCKUPPEDNESS AS PRECURSOR TO FIXING IT.   
      
   Oh, how nice it must be to be too insolently stupid to   
   hear/see all the trees falling in the forest!   
      
   I dare say that "non-attachment" is a practice invented   
   by really smart people to provide a possible inner escape   
   route to as far away from the natives of Planet Moronia   
   as possible....
