Like all of players on the Inner Playground, Smart and Stupid
are inseparable. Wherever you find one, you'll find the other.
Smart likes to think. Alot. All the time. Smart likes puzzles
and problems, challenges and debates, riddles and conundrums.
Stupid likes to blunder and muddle, to muck about nonsensically,
to play with paradox and inconsistency; stultiloquy and nugacity.
Smart is easy to understand, predictable, logical. Stupid is
basically impossible.
Stupid likes to get Smart dizzy, drunk, stoned. Stupid likes
to get Smart to play with dangerous things and people. Stupid
likes to get Smart to overspend and overdo.
Smart is not as smart as s/he wants to be. Stupid is not as stupid
as s/he pretends to be.
Stupid is especially good at making Smart feel smarter. Smart
can help Stupid feel really, really stupid.
Drugs, alcohol, overeating, overdoing - they're all pretty much
the same to Stupid. They're all ways that Stupid can get Smart
to relax long enough so that Stupid can get a chance to play.
Sometimes, one or two drinks is all it takes. Sometimes, Stupid
has to use everything at once.
Without Stupid, Smart wouldn't know what to be smart about.
