To instill the fear and withdraw proper deference from an idiot can be at once taxing and illuminating. Take for instance the ire your brain throbes with as the idiot fails time and time again to take their intellectual beating, it's like a Prize fighter with the ultimate chin in face of vicious blows.
But I say illuminating, and I mean that. For, you see, it's the ultimate test of mastery. Sure you can recite to me formulas, but can you teach them to the ignorant masses? Sure you can verbally lambast and make the jokes, but can you crush the prideful into the ranks of the ribald and force your will on the living masses?
It's of my opinion, that is to say, the opinion of a man with the proper credientials and authority to negotiate such topics, as that of a mysgonist and misanthrope, that the idiot serves to sharpen your sword-tongue and tighten your brain-aim for those who can influence action and change. That of the average.
Where is my wine? Bring my beaker so I may wet my tongue and say something clever!
