- “Why didn’t you answer them?”
- “It was a stupid question.”
- “It was a chance for you
to put them in their place.” - “I don’t care about their place.
I care about my place.
Stupid questions are an appeal to enter a drama.
People play one role;
we’re appealed to play another.
If we answer, we don’t just agree to play.
We also consent to continue the play.
Which is a consent to step out of our place.
Stupidity wins when reason agrees to step out.
And then we’re stupid too.
I never make that mistake.
Stupidity is like a plane taking off.
It needs the resisting air of argument
for its ascent. Absent that air, it crashes.
I just let it.”
