There’s so much of it going around these days, I couldn’t resist this insightful observation on the subject of stupidity from the late science fiction author Robert Heinlein:

“Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.”

If he was correct — that there is no cure for stupidity — I suppose we’ll just have to wait for nature to take its course on the current epidemic. We survived COVID; and we’ll survive this.

In the meantime, I hope the visual record of these years is being carefully preserved . . . because future generations are going to find it really hard to believe.

Just sayin’ . . .
