Look Ma, no Brains!

I have been trying to understand people for a long time. And for most people, this is a strange obsession, the direct opposite of their own - they are determined to not understand them. And they consider this their greatest virtue.

They are displaying stupidity as intelligence, and are unaware of the difference.

Some of my readers will object. asking "Aren't you stupid yourself for claiming most people are stupid?" And they have a point: one has to do this discretely.

And, dear reader, this is not all. People can be stupid in some ways, and intelligent in other ways.

People can understand the computer, but not understand their fellow-men (and women).

I have been to job fairs in Silicon Valley and watched many people streaming in from the parking lot, taking their resumes to the nearest copy machine - and companies eager to accept them.

It was a meat market, with the most expensive meat ever, And no one thought this strange at all.
