cellini's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Borderline Retarded Oh my God, Cynthia asked the dumbest thing today. She asked "what does bipolar mean?" At first I'm sort of frozen without an answer. Like, she can't possibly be *that* stupid. She's asking this in some other context, right? Like, maybe she read some foreign policy article about the bipolar geopolitical dynamic prior to the fall of the Soviet Union. Nope. That wasn't it. At the age of 55, with a political science degree from a well-known university, this woman had no idea what the term 'bipolar' means, in a psychiatric context. There was some other random dumb shit coming out of her mouth this morning as well that I'm trying to remember. Something that made it clear that she has no idea what the physiological effects of caffine are, despite the fact that she drinks close to a pot of coffee every day. It's really amazing how some people manage to make their way through life without a fucking clue about anything. Like, you'd think they'd be homeless on the street. I guess it just goes to show that maybe intelligence really is overestimated. Apparently you don't actually need much of it to get by. Or even to graduate from college. 14:14 - 2008-05-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
