If stupidity is a disease, how to treat it?

Keywords: dullness, stupidity, ignorance, omniscience, illness, wisdom, soul

Abstract

The author considers stupidity and dullness to be an eternally existing and important human phenomenon, a phenomenon of the psyche (soul and spirit) of a person. In this, as a result of the paralysis of sensitivity, mental life loses the life-giving and healing interaction between the basic abilities of the soul: mind, sensitivity, will, self-awareness. The chaos that has occurred in the soul begins to generate products that are incomplete at the mental and emotional levels of personality – this is precisely the nonsense (which calls itself "truths" and even "great wisdom"), lies, meanness, abomination, etc. In order to cure such a soulless soul, it is necessary to cause the so-called "earthquake of the soul" through mental blows, attacks and provocations, where the hope is to adjust the layers of the soul, that is, the abilities ("functions") of the soul, to begin to do their job and interact effectively. The author will convince that fools can not only begin to stop their stupidity, not only become wiser, but also, more importantly, begin to humanize themselves and their activity.
