Bro, just think of what stupid IS. Fuck...What IS stupid dude? Bruh....

You say you’re so smart. Well, I need you to use your brain for a minute. Trust me on this one. I know you’ll like it. Use your supposedly big brain to figure this one out. Think about it, think about it real hard. I know you don’t want to, that it goes against what you want to be, but do it. This will be the last time you have to, I promise. I’m going to ask you a question and I want you think about it as hard as you have ever thought about anything before. Like it’s the hardest philosophical question you’ve ever heard. You know the kind, the one that’s just the tiniest bit too hard for your brain to wrap itself around. You’re scrabbling at the edges, but you just can’t figure it out.

What is stupid? Don’t tell me what it isn’t. Answer my question with what stupid is. Can you? Because it’s kind of like when you think of a word over and over and over and it starts to lose meaning. Stupid is a weird word, because it sounds kinda funny. Huhuhuh. The more you think about it, the harder it is to actually think about it. You keep trying to return to the point where you lost track, but it’s harder to think about where exactly that was - oh yeah

What is stupid? The definition of it. Don’t go look in the dictionary, don’t Google it. Okay, fine. I know you already did. “lacking intelligence or common sense.” But see, that’s doing it again - that’s telling me what stupid isn’t. I wanna know what stupid is. It’s an inverse quantity, it’s like a black hole, it sucks you right down into it. Before you know it, you’ve been staring at the screen for a full minute. Where did that time go? Stupid.

Not like it’s a virus or anything. Can’t catch stupid, even though sometimes you do hear people say that it can “rub off.” Wouldn’t that be funny, if stupid rubbed off on people? Kinda like if someone just bumped into someone stupid and said to you, “watch where you’re going, stupid,” and well, all you can do is laugh. Huhuhuh.

And now look how long you’ve spent trying to think of what stupid is, rather than what it isn’t. It’s been plaguing me lately, keeps popping up in my head as I go about my day, as I walk to work or eat my lunch, sometimes even on the job. It just floats into my head, casually, stupid. Or sometimes its cousin, dumb. Sometimes both of them at the same time, and then I realize I forgot to give the customer back their change, or I forgot where I was going, or what I was going to do. One of my friends the other day even asked what was going on. I seemed a little … preoccupied. I was. I was too busy thinking stupid. I mean, about stupid. I know that if I just use my brain to figure it out, I will figure it out. I mean, it’ll come to me. Stupid. Man, that really is a funny sounding word huh. Stupid. I like dumb too cuz when it hums when you say it. Dummmmmmmmb. Huhuhuh.

Fuck. What was I doing before I started this? I can’t remember. Goddamnit, stupid got me again. I’ll never get stupid. I’m too smart.

Or something.
