Us idiots usually rely on sheer luck to stay alive.
Being brilliant is a curse, people expect so much from you.
But if you are a moron (like me), and you actually say something smart by accident, you are hailed more than Einstein, Oppenhiemer, and Tesla all put together.
It ain't about brains, but expectations, that is why is is better to be a dummy.
I know, trust me. I am an utter stooge.
