Stupid

The most damaging form of stupidity arises out of denial. Where educated, smart people deny the obvious truth about any given situation, because the solid truth undercuts the premise by which they act as they really want to, what follows are acts of cruelty, wickedness, injustice, abuse and folly. These actions are potentially foolish, poorly conceived and wicked, at first glance, to any good, decent, honest onlooker.
