How to Act Like You’re Bright

Eric Raymond provides some advice to those who are not.
This blog post is brought to you by a recent bad experience I had watching a 5-minute clip from Big Bang Theory on the recommendation of a friend who thought I might find it amusing.
Bleagh. This is supposed to be a show about geniuses? It’s not. It’s a show about a dimwit’s idea of what bright people are like. The slowest person in my peer group could out-think and out-create any of these sad-sack imitations of “smart” on any day of the week.

To paraphrase President Buttwipe, they must be doing something right; after all, they’re on national TV, and he’s not.

Fortunately President Buttwipe’s terms are over, and we don’t have to listen to him any more.
The reason they’re on national TV, and he’s not, is because national TV is the safe space for non-bright people. This is obvious to those of us who actually are bright; you probably missed it.

President Buttwipe’s term (singular) has barely begun. Obviously you are confused.
As for “bright” and “not-bright”, nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
Something the “marketplace driven” should note.

Confused? I think not. I wipe my but and look at the result and I see brown and white. That says Obama to me.
