but there are culmimating moment and peaks where it all comes together and in the aftermath idiocy is the only way to go. galling. humiliating.
I always liked Sontag's essay on Silence it's my favorite by her

Silence is different from stupidity but it is an attempt to preclude stupidity by not speaking

tempermentally i dont. but on a pragmatic level there have been humans ive known that manifested this or that quality i envied and i modelled it and basically 'stole it' and made it mine.
I always liked the comic book metaphor of the power stealer. Some people have one power they own. Other people's power is absorbing the first order powers of others. Some can only hold one stolen pattern at a time, others can accumulate. Some, when they take a power, deprive the original owner; others are more like learning, a replica that leaves the original intact
