Who among us hasn’t looked at things going on in the world at any given point and asked, «why the heck is everybody so dumb?». While our reasons for doing this and the ways in which we express it may differ, it is pretty common to occasionally despair about how many of us choose to share the brain cells that we have. If we’re being honest, no matter what we might think of our own intelligence, there are probably some people who have directed this sentiment toward us, too. While many may argue there is no cure for stupidity, there are some methods to minimize its effects. One of these is taking a little extra time to think before we react, and we can even start doing this while doing the most inconsequential of things, like looking at memes. Don’t listen to anybody who says they shave off IQ points. They don’t know what they’re talking about.
