It has always been said that ignorance can be corrected but stupidity can’t. I don’t know if that statement really holds any water but I have reached the conclusion that there is no cure for either one. What supports my claim is that there is an epidemic in this country called “ignopidity” – not only incurable but a symptom of the disease is the inability to recognize or understand that there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. And, where we now live in a society in which ignorance is incurable, i.e. willful ignorance and the desire to remain that way regardless of such things as facts, what hope remains?
For those who might be curious, ignorance was once thought to be the lack of knowledge of a particular subject -stupidity as lacking mental capacity.
I read once that William Shakespeare was the master of “creative insults.” I know that often my writings can be disrespectful, offensive and rude, that is to those who know the difference, but I am no master at creatively insulting anyone. I remain rough around the edges and unfinished.
I’m getting way off the subject matter of this blog post.
Today I was sent a link to this article about the Florida panther. It was about how the Florida panther (the Florida panther is just a panther that happens to have a population in Florida) is being extirpated by people running over them with their automobiles. Of course, to the ignopid there are other circumstances that seriously affect the viability of the Florida panther, but it’s more fun to dump on the existence of man instead ignorant of the fact they are a man – somehow exempt.
I will not waste my time with those suffering from ignopidity to discuss whether or not the Florida panther is a subspecies of the panther or if it actually is in danger of being extirpated or of going extinct, which it is not. Unfortunately, often times those suffering from ignopidity display all the symptoms of chronic honeycomb brain infestation known commonly as liberalism (There is no known cure).
Liberalism and an overwhelming desire to better the lives of animals at the expense of man is a major manifestation of ignopidity. The linked-to article doesn’t come out and say that the only cure for protecting the Florida panther is to rid the state of human activity, but it is certainly implied.
Ignopidity caused the author to write: “I expect that without drastic steps the number of Florida panthers killed each year will continue to hit new records as the population declines on a curve toward oblivion.”
You should understand that this is Trump’s fault. The author admits that there are not enough protections in place for his liking for the Florida panther but somehow he says that because Trump is now president all hope is lost. Trump had nothing to do with the protection, or lack thereof, of the Florida panther. So why is it Trump’s fault? What isn’t it Obama’s problem, or Clinton’s? Hell, it might as well be George Washington or gOD himself.
Consider the statement made about the demise of the Florida panther. The author expects that without “drastic steps” – notice also the lack of any suggestion as to what those steps might be, other than killing a lot of people – the number of panthers killed each year will continue to set “new records” for the number of panthers killed each year…until when? Until they are all gone?
How is this even possible? There are a lot of variables to consider when seeking information on automobile collisions with Florida panthers. This author doesn’t consider any of them other than there are too many cars and people. Isn’t it feasible that the reason there might be a few more panthers killed by cars in Florida is that there are more panthers? That doesn’t fit the narrative evidently.
Regardless, it is an impossibility that more and more panthers will be killed until they are all gone. Think about it a minute.
A perfect display of ignopidity spiced up with a heavy dose of liberalism and animal perversion.
