    Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

    Depends on if you define “stupid” as being “unintelligent” but in my personal life I’ve noticed a bellcurve where the people most optimistic about life to be the dumbest and the smartest.

      I don’t consider myself an incredibly intelligent person but what I’ve noticed is that the ones on the lower end of the scale don’t understand the consequences of a bad situation and the truly intelligent ones understand the best way to deal with issues is optimistic/realistic. Very situational.
