about this book: How many times have you found yourself in conversation with a person who made a statement that confirmed for you that they had absolutely no idea what the hell they were talking about? Everything you'll find here was personally heard, read or viewed by me. Over an extended period of time I began writing these little cast in stone truths on post-it notes. Eventually I typed and organized them. Mainly to get all the post-it off my desk. The resulting conclusion from my little experiment was that not only did most people I talked to only know one side of many important issues, but they had absolutely no interest in learning the other side.

When did we reach the point where our knowledge was based on a single sided, 140 character or less view of the world? We can tell you which politician or news outlet is disingenuous but it never seems to be the one we support or view.

My title is rude but its goal is to urge you look at your firmly held beliefs and ask yourself; Can I Be That Stupid?
