2. Careful! The Stupid find facts DEEPLY intimidating! The only thing you need to do to make a stupid person lose their composure is listen to them very carefully and, once they’ve grown bored of the sound of their own voice, (which can take awhile, as The Stupid are not smart enough to comprehend their stupidity, nor the difference between talking about Ideas and abusing the chance to talk about Ideas with people who might actually understand the Ideas who, generally, will politely smile and nod and enjoy allowing The Stupid to think they’re Super Intelligent, dude! ), is to mention you’re about to give a keynote briefing in the very thing they think they understand.

   The violent reaction could even be stunning if, for example, you didn’t have a 45 and a badge, and might have just pressed a little button signaling your support team. I would imagine. But, aside from imagining, the important thing is that people learn to use their time in life the best they can and raise their personal expectations of themselves through nothing more complex than reading. Especially with the fact that some people whose visual impairment is so profound they count as legally blind, can read! Isn’t that amazing? But, you know… You can lead a horse to water and all that.
