The Power of Dumb
All over the news is the fact that Trump won’t hear daily intelligence briefings. These are all the intel on all the things happening in the world – and there are lots of things happening in the world. Trump just says he is “smart” so he doesn’t need to hear it every day.
This is The Power of Dumb. You can sit down with history books, a slide ruler, intelligence based stats, science based theories, and other “facts”, but these all get in the way of your gut. Your gut is already right.
George W. Bush ran our country for 8 years with no intelligence. He dealt with 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, a failing economy, war on terror, Patriot Act, and tax cuts for the rich on just gut instinct.
Facts clog up your gut with choices and choices give you a bigger chance of. Ring wrong. When you are faced with a decision, don’t ponder, don’t research, don’t flip a coin, don’t call a 1-900 psychic, just go with the first thought your gut sends to your brain.
Some of the best decisions were made by just gut instinct. Electricity, central banking, Doritos, stand up urinals, neon lights on a car, Israel, and rubber.
While written comedies are good, improv is much better. Just like when the orchestrated swing music gave way to the improv magic of bebop. Just like the Republican Party who used to use policy, well thought out deals, and an intelligent reality based ideal, but now is making deductions based on the amount of gas.
I mean let’s look at climate change. Most scientists are in agreement that humans are impacting climate change, but no matter because the gut says scientists are wrong. Earth is just having a phase.
Intelligence says that there probably no god, it to run for public office, a job that requires rational thought and logical problem solving, must appease religious people to win.
So instead of deciding based on facts and experience, make decisions based on your gut instinct. Our new government does now. . . again.
