Yes, ignorance is bliss. And "less intelligent" people can't help but be ignorant. I often envy their obliviousness.

Even if the whole group is wrong, they all agree with one another and fit in together. Those of us who understand have to choose to either be wrong to fit in or be right and be cast out. Either choice is painful.

Eh. I used to do that until my 30's or so. Now I just want those damn kids off my lawn. ;)
