Can you become immune to stupidity? The simple answer is yes, when you understand stupidity in reality only exists in history or in your mind.
Remember: “History is something that can’t be changed,” and “If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
Let’s look a little closer at the two states.
Stupidity is defined as behaviour that shows a lack of good sense or judgement.
Immunity is defined as protected or exempt, especially from an obligation or the effects of something such as stupidity.
Other people’s stupidity: People will do and say things that you disagree with, but that doesn’t make them stupid unless you define them as stupid. If you’re a teacher, it’s your job to enlighten them. However, if you’re not their teacher, you can let them think anything they like.
Your stupidity: Of course, you can call yourself stupid from time to time, but that’s only because you’ve acquired knowledge that made you question how you have behaved in the past.
That means you were unenlightened. You only fall into the stupid category if you repeat your previous behaviour.
Immunity from stupidity: You have the ability to ignore everything you witness that contradicts the knowledge you have acquired.
Conclusion: Stupidity does exist and yes, you can become immune to stupidity, however, if you travel through life without labeling the people you encounter including yourself as stupid, you may come out on the other side a very knowledgeable person and a little less stupid.
