The Three Levels of Stupidity: A Passionate Plea for Sanity

In today’s world, reason has become an endangered species. The truth has been smothered beneath layers of delusion, vanity, and psychosis. What I present here is not a manifesto. It is not a scholarly essay. It is not even an argument meant to persuade the academic elite. This is a passionate plea for common sense, directed at those who still possess the ability to think without being herded into ideological insanity. We live in a world built on three levels, and only one of them is worth living on.

Let me explain.

Level One: The Base

At the bottom is the base. This is where the real people live. The level-headed. The grounded. The ones who have to get up every morning, go to work, feed their families, and make a life in the world of bills, rent, taxes, loss, laughter, love, survival. These people do not care about your pronouns. They do not care about your imagined trauma. They do not care about how many genders you think there are or how many gods you invented in your mind. They are not hateful. They are not violent. They are not political. They are just busy. They are too busy to live in your cartoon universe of delusional morality. They understand what matters. Real things. Tangible things. Honest things.

They feel sympathy for the starving child in Gaza, and they actually mean it. They do not need a Twitter thread to pretend they care. They do not need an Instagram filter or a black square or a rainbow flag to announce their morality. They just help people when they can and speak the truth when it is time. That is what living on the base level means. It means staying rooted in reality.

Level Two: Dumb

The second level is dumb. Most people live here. It is not as psychotic as the top level, but it is dangerously stupid. The people here are not grounded like the base. They are not plugged into real life. They live in reaction to the upper tier. They are followers. They listen to the right. They listen to the left. They listen to whoever shouts the loudest. They take it in, they believe it, and they repeat it. They are the parrots of the information war.

These people believe that if someone is called a racist, then they must be one. They believe that if someone is canceled, they must deserve it. They do not think for themselves. They absorb what others tell them and then build their personalities around it. They do not question. They conform. They do not investigate. They nod along. They are the masses. The great blob of mediocrity that props up both extremes by trying to appease them.

Level Three: Stupid

Then there is the third level. Stupid. This is where the real lunatics live. The people who have completely divorced themselves from reality. They believe in infinite genders, multiple universes, and that people can become animals, objects, or gods simply by declaring it. They follow cult leaders in rainbow flags or red hats. They foam at the mouth over pronouns or prophets. They live in a bubble of absolute fiction and they demand that you live there too.

If you do not accept their worldview, you are evil. That is the deal. You do not get to disagree. You do not get to opt out. You must join their imaginary kingdom of psychotic delusion or be branded a heretic. If you say men are men and women are women, you are called transphobic. If you say that people should be judged by their actions instead of their skin color, you are a racist. If you say that you do not buy into the constant sexualization of children in modern media, you are homophobic. This is how they work. Their ideology is not built on debate. It is built on manipulation and fear.

And when that fails, when calling you names does not work, they escalate. They will try to ruin your life. They will post your name online. They will try to get you fired. They will harass your family. They will pretend that their hurt feelings are actual violence and that your refusal to play along is an attack. And most tragically, the people on level two will believe them.

Left and Right: Identical Bubbles of Delusion

You think this is just the left? It is not. The right does the same thing. If you do not believe in their flavor of nonsense, you are satanic. If you say you do not believe Jesus was God, you are a blasphemer. If you are gay, you are damned. If you think for yourself, you are not welcome in the tribe. It is the same pattern. Just with different costumes and slogans. The same cancel culture. The same bubble. The same hatred.

The fake empathy on the left is matched only by the fake morality on the right. Both are built on vanity. Both are built on power. And both of them hate the base level. Because the base level does not play their games. The base level people refuse to bow to either cult. That makes them dangerous. That makes them the enemy.

Vain Imaginations and the Myth of the Bubble

This is all vanity. All of it. It is vain imagination. The kind Paul warned about. People living in bubbles of their own making. Creating entire worlds out of emotion and fantasy. People convincing themselves that God is a political ally. That love means agreement. That tolerance means submission. They live in bubbles of delusion and invite you in. When you refuse, they try to destroy you.

I saw this first hand. In 1989, I went to Rock Church. They poisoned people. Literally. Put things in their food so they would puke up colored bile. Then they would say, “That’s the demon leaving.” They used smoke machines and said it was the presence of God. No one questioned it. They just believed it. It was a religious psychosis. A bubble of insanity. No different from the cult of modern psychology, no different from the woke mind virus, no different from the delusions of the extreme right.

And when someone refuses the invitation to step inside their world of fantasy, they lose their minds. They cannot comprehend that someone might not want to be a part of it. And so they lash out.

The War Against Reality

All of this is a war against reality. A war against truth. A war against sanity. People do not want to live in truth anymore. They want to live in a story. A fantasy. A world where they are always the victim or always the hero. And when someone threatens that fantasy with truth, they panic. They scream. They cancel. They destroy.

But here is the truth. You do not owe them anything. You do not owe the woke cult your obedience. You do not owe the evangelical cult your belief. You do not owe the dumb masses your silence. You owe yourself one thing and one thing only. Truth.

And if you are one of the base-level people, stay there. Do not get pulled into their bubble. Do not take their labels seriously. Let them scream. Let them invent new slurs. Let them cry into their Reddit threads and hug their delusions. Let them live in their make-believe world. You stay here. Stay grounded. Stay clear. Stay honest.

Do not let the mentally deranged moralists or the religious delusionists define who you are. Speak the truth. Live your life. Help the people you can. Be kind. Be real. Do not buy into Freudian trash about sex and trauma. Do not follow Jung into the fantasy world of archetypes and shadows. You do not need psychobabble to know what is right. You just need eyes. You just need a spine. You just need the courage to say no.

Say no to their bubbles. Say no to their labels. Say no to their fake morality.

And when they call you every name in the book, when they try to cancel you, when they try to ruin you, look them dead in the eye and say, “I do not give a fuck what you think.”

Because that is what it means to live in reality.
