stupidity is easy, and that's why people stick to it so much.

it's so, so easy to pass judgement on the first impression. we see a picture, we listen to a couple of soundbytes, we read half a paragraph - or half a sentence, in some situations -, and voilà, we have officially created an unshakable truth. a smart-assed truth, that is, for most of times we know to little to even understand if we like it or not, let alone to judge and condemn. we do not learn though. or rather, we do learn, but not fast enough, and we seldom learn the right lessons, for the wrong ones are som much easier to learn. and there we are, back to how easy stupid things are.
