Oh to be Unencumbered by Intellect or Imagination.
These people seem really contented with their lot.
I won't embarrass anyone by singling them out or mentioning names but Skizo, for example, seems thoroughly happy with his lot as king of the counting 'tards because he's blissfully devoid of any aspirations pertaining to adroit conversational exchanges.
Maybe this translates :earl:
I think we can all agree that to be a successful, intelligent, imaginative individual would be ideal -- but perhaps, failing that, being stupid and fulfilling what little potential you have would make a person happier than being an intelligent under-achiever.
I am undecided as to whether it would.
