Matthew Bostick praises honest stupidity in the age of Google, Wikipedia and relentless knowitall-dom.
My life path has led me to some exciting revelations and extraordinary experiences. It's been carved out by indulging in – and being comfortable with – my own stupidity. Because stupidity is not a bad quality in a person, no matter how many people say it is. Peeking at a dictionary, we can define stupid as someone "marked by a lack of intelligence." To me, that's a perfectly reasonable attribute. We don't just become intelligent one day.We're in pursuit of cleverness. Many of us never get there. But we try.
Bravo! There is no better way to have fun than to be the dumbest guy in the room, when the room is, say, a TED talk.
