Day 455, Thinking. Tried it, too hard


It's a lot easier not to bother.

You can then get on with believing any old tripe that occurs to you.

And be a happy, if ignorant, fuckwit.

But hang on, what weird belief have I inserted there?

Well it's a supposition rather than a belief, containing a rash generalisation and an assumption.

Aren't you veering into pedantry now?

Possibly.

So you can be either happy and ignorant, or unhappy and filled with knowledge?

No, that's a false dichotomy.

Believing 'any old tripe' is the world of many a tabloid, and broadsheet, reader.

What about being a fuckwit?

Anyone can be a fuckwit, no matter how much or little they think.

And ignorance?

No, that's not purely the province of the non-thinker either.

Ok, what about being a pedant?

Well, I only got as far as 'A' during my journey before giving up so have no idea.*
