One of the reasons I am writing down these thoughts is so that people that have more information than I can correct me when I am wrong. Hopefully I will then learn.
There are several kinds of stupid. The first is honest stupid. These folks know they're stupid and they don't pretend to be anything else. They live a quiet life and they are often pleasant to be with --even if they are stupid.
The second is arrogant stupid. These folks may know that they're stupid, but be so arrogant that they'll forge ahead anyhow. They will punish themselves --and may not even realize they've done it.
The third is deliberate stupid. These people decide to be stupid on purpose. I think a lot of mainstream media outlets are like this. They will repeat the same idiotic mistakes over and over again.

Ergo: The stupid will punish themselves.
