Tao Stoic 233

'Not to understand a man's purpose does not make HIM confused.' Kung Fu (44). "It is admirable how Master Po sometimes has to teach the most basic True Words to quite grown-up pupils. Of course, other persons have different Minds, therefore their actions and thoughts may puzzle us. But just as obvious is the fact that most people are stark stupid, hence act that way. It is all the more reason for the study of stupidology. Thus, one may be able to decide whether it is mere stupidity or purposeful with a hidden logic behind it.

It is not enough to understand the fact that all actions always have the purpose, the main drive of Control behind it. This control can easely be located in different planes. There is e.g. the basic stupidity (See Spencer's first sentence, Essay), of decor prevailing over useability. Given that, the most absurd actions like auto-mutilation, get a logic of itself. It is stupid, it is logic, it is control, yet this may escape you totally when not versed in stupidology, and thus, Mind-Science. It is the Way, to learn the stupid Way of others."
