I happen to find idiocy (the lack of normal development of intellectual capacities) disgusting, Glice. Especially when that idiocy is from apparent laziness of mind. Why do you think there are so many problems in this world? (Is) the tooth fairy (to blame)?

And please, let's not confuse "idiocy" with Dostoevsky's The Idiot. The idiocy I'm referring to is quasi-literateness. In the novel, Prince Myshkin is an "idiot" because he lacks the development of "normal" social graces. In other words, he's deemed an idiot because he's not like the herd. He's deeply empathetic, but he can only tell the truth about how he feels.
