This is one of my favourite talks. It presents a very important perspective.
One lesson I’ve tried to take from this involves dealing with those I might view as more wrong than me. It is common to wonder at how people can possibly be as stupid as they are. I have heard this sentiment expressed by many different people in many different situations. It is so easy to just think of the offending idiot as a moron and be done with it. It is not the most charitable of moods. The proper thing would be to recognize that we are all idiots, and we should deal with the stupid people in our lives as we would like our own stupidity addressed: with patience and courtesy. I admit, I don’t live up to this standard very often, but I’m working on it.

The problem seems to be our idiot brothers and sisters who are just too stupid to even know they’re stupid.

The real issues start when they are too stupid to acknowledge their ignorance when it’s pointed out. Confident, tenacious stupidity is the most dangerous kind.
