Most People Are Stupid

Most people are stupid.  Some few are born with limited gifts but most are intellectually capable.  Functional stupidity is acquired.  It is achieved through conditioning.  We learn to be stupid, then we live that way, inside the little boxes that we believe are enclosing us.  All of our thoughts and all of the actions that come from our thoughts are kept inside those little boxes.  Those little boxes are our world.  They are real to us.  We never doubt their reality.  We don't realize that we have created them.

The eager, vital, life-seeking organism that is the human infant mind is the recipient of all of the misdirection, dysfunction, confusion and wrongheadedness exhibited in the utterances and behavior of the fellow beings in her environment.  The pristine black velvet of the receptive open mind of youth collects the psychic dust and debris of its human surroundings.  Soon it exhibits the nondescript gray of its emotional environment and another stunted life path is ordained.  This mixed bag of recorded experiences, meticulously stored in the subconscious mind, becomes the operating system of a new life.  It shapes the behavior of the person throughout life.  The pattern is only interrupted by death.  By then, pieces of it have been passed on to new generations so that it persists throughout human history.  There are shifts and changes over time, but basically, humans as a whole remain just as functionally stupid as they have always been.  They stay within their boxes.

What if we could rewrite our own programs, those programs that run invisibly in our subconscious minds and control all of our behaviors?  What if we could re-form our operating system and reshape our lives?  The good news is that we humans are learning to do just that.  We do not have to live inside those little boxes that we have inherited.  We can be the sculptors of our own lives.  To do that, we have to stop running on automatic and put in some effort.  It doesn’t come free.  But, it’s not that hard to do either.  We humans have the ability to tune our lives toward joy and fulfillment.  We can make that choice if we wish.  What an adventure!
