Boldly Non-Idiot?

Yes. Sometimes one feels stuck in the middle of an Idiot Plot. Everywhere one looks, it seems only Idiots are allowed. Idiots keep a very stupid game going. Some are waiting for the Deus Ex Machina, but that seems too stupid to be real. What's a Humble Pilgrim to do? Marvel at the Idiocy on display. Try not to don the "mask of stupidity" to fit in. Choose to be boldly non-Idiot? Too stupid to do? Can one see beyond their own Idiocy? Can you boot-strap yourself out of a swamp of Idiocy? Obviously, I don't rightly know...
