Most of those who think you’re dumb are not smart enough to realize you’re not. They have no idea you’re not one of them.
One reason that virtually everyone who speaks on the subject of protecting your energy or avoiding negativity or toxicity seems to overlook or be reluctant to mention, despite its importance when it comes to your ability to not stop yourself from or give up on pursuing the life of your dreams that you really want because of other people’s opinions or criticism of you or whatever that you do is the fact that those who are exercising such criticism or judgment upon you are very likely to have no idea what they’re talking about. Almost all of the time, they are too stupid to realize you are not as stupid as they think you are. Almost all of them fail to realize that you are not as unintelligent or bad as they think you are. They don’t have what it takes to figure out you’re not that stupid. And you seem to be insistent upon giving weight to their opinion about you and everything that you do or don’t do regardless. And even when they think you’re not as stupid as they thought you were, they don’t care, because that only makes it seem fair enough for them to attempt to destroy you and bring you down by any means necessary. How dare you be smarter or better than them in any way, shape, or form. They don’t have to be narcissistic to be capable of harming you. When I wrote the Genius Human, book 1 back in the day, the core motivation behind the book was to bring to your attention that nothing could ruin your life, assuming you really were a highly intelligent person like the belief that stupid people are harmless, or at least will be harmless to you or to smarter people in general. This is aside from the fact that negative energy that could come from negative people could be enough to make you fail miserably in life. It should come as no surprise to you that I never bothered to mention narcissism in the entirety of the book, because as pathological as it could ever get, nothing can cause you pain like being surrounded by a bunch of profoundly stupid people who unshakably think or believe they are superior to the majority of mankind in every way imaginable. I found that gap in human literature when it came to that subject, and I tried my best to make that point clear as daylight. Nothing could harm you, if you’re really intelligent enough to be considered Genius, like the existence of stupid people around you, especially living with them in the same place or home, or being in a relationship with them for any reason. Or like being present around them with no instant escape route available for you. Or existing somewhere where they can instantly exercise their idiocy upon you unchecked. Like Peterson argues that you should begin with cleaning your room first before attempting to fix the world or make it a better place, I argued that it is infinitely more important to clean up stupid people out of your life for good before attempting to do anything else. They don’t have to be responsible for any of your past traumas or suffering. They just have to qualify as stupid enough in order for them to go. They should have no place in your life, no matter what, even if you wanted to, even if they did nothing wrong to you or to anyone else. If you want to stop being angry all the time for no apparent reason, clear stupid people out of your life.
For some reason you have no problem with being told toxic people should have no place in your life, no matter what. But when I say stupid people must have no place or existence in your life no matter what, you start thinking I’m a toxic person myself, when all I wanted is to get you in the right environment in order for you to become fully what you’re meant to be, because no amount of mindset could help you bypass the negative effects of having stupid people in your life. It’s worse than any amount of negativity or pessimism that could suck your energy and enthusiasm. It’s enough to suck all your energy, enthusiasm, excitement, and even intelligence, in a few milliseconds, assuming of course you have any.
