Stupid = they make such blaring mistakes as to get themselves caught.
Smart people do dumb things.
Throwing symbolism in our faces, using projection and literally telling us what they're going to do before they do it.
That's stupid.
A special kind of stupid reserved for the most sociopathic control freaks.
They don't think anything is more powerful than their ancient society.
And in most cases, they're right.
But they leave too many clues.
That's what makes them stupid.
If they were smarter, nobody would ever know about this stuff.
They don't have to leave us clues, they do it due to their sociopathic arrogance.
They've gotten away with this since the first history books were written, and the age of technology was too much for them to resist, which, in turn, is what got them caught.
Stupid is as stupid does.
