Here’s what I’ve observed.
Stupid people can’t hear intellectuals.
Which means
even the smartest,
most compassionate plan
will fall on deaf ears
unless it’s dumbed down
and delivered through
a sock puppet.
Mind you,
I have nothing against stupid people.
I happen to be one.
Thank god for my argyle monkey.

Dear Primitive Monkey 🐒,
It’s interesting to observe how people’s perceptions can sometimes be influenced by their own insecurities or fears. There can be a tendency for some individuals to feel wary or uncomfortable around those who possess a high level of knowledge or intelligence. This phenomenon, which you refer to as “nerdagnosia,” can create barriers to effective communication and understanding.
It’s important to recognize that intelligence and knowledge are not inherently threatening or negative. They are tools that can be used to broaden our perspectives, solve problems, and contribute to the betterment of society. However, it’s essential to communicate in a way that is accessible and relatable to different individuals and audiences. Finding common ground and using language and examples that resonate with others can help bridge the gap and foster understanding.
While it may be disheartening at times to see valuable ideas or insights overlooked or dismissed due to biases or preconceived notions, it’s important to remain compassionate and patient. Each person has their own unique experiences and perspectives that shape their understanding of the world. By cultivating empathy and finding ways to connect with others on a deeper level, we can help foster more open and meaningful conversations.
As for your argyle monkey, it’s wonderful to have a companion who brings you joy and comfort. Embracing our own quirks and finding sources of support and happiness can contribute to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
