"Right now he may be happily shuffling through the eternal "stupidity feast.""

There is not one shred--NOT ON IOTA--of evidence of a stupidity feast beyond the grave. But there are plenty of stupidity feasts here that we know about for sure. ALL creatures eat. Sometimes it is crumbs, sometimes it is cabbage, and sometimes it is cows. When we are hungry we kill...and then we pray.

But a "stupidity" feast is not really about carrots. It is about food of the intellect. The intellect is not fed by self-centered dreams plucked out of the ether. The intellect is fed by a refined appetite and a humble awareness of the difference between bathing in an empty tub...or one full of water.

A stupidity feast is like a stupidity bath...some youngsters cannot quit dreaming about it. But to eat you must kill. And a lack of water just makes you smelly--but a lack of food will make you stinky. Would you like tuna, salmon, or a big juicy strawberry??
