I’d rather be that. Ignorance is bliss. Rich is a bonus.

I’d rather be stupid and happy. I’ve got way too many problems. I used to be pretty in my youth, and I was somewhat intelligent. Neither of those things made my life any better. They didn’t take away the emotional pain that I dealt with on a daily basis. They didn’t take away my mental health problems.
Because of the problems that I’ve had with my mental health, I wasn’t able to raise my son or my daughter. Well, I had my daughter till she was 15. Then my dad raised her from that time on.

Wisdom is everything to me. Being wealthy but not understanding anything would be a curse. Whereas being impoverished and wise would not only be a gift but allow you to understand The human condition

It’s hard to be a learned intelligent poor person. You will feel so alone with your thoughts and knowledge from people being oblivious to the meaning that it would be as if nonsense.
A rich fool can say anything to anyone and they will understand it because he is better and more successful than them.

I think we have all seen the casual cruelty that comes from this over the past year especially, making it an immoral choice.

yeah, like leaders right now…rich and stupid…no thanks.
rich fool all day, who needs to know everything when knowing doesnt change the fact that life sucks when you cant afford to live it to the best and one person alone cant do much for the problems in the world even if the most intelligent person in the world. all knowledge that is considered intelligence is information about things that were created by humans and only make sense when social constructs apply. like every other animal species on the planet has survived since the beginning of time without knowing quantum physics, and they will never need to learn it, knowledge is somewhat of a burden

It depends
If I’m poor but happy I would choose that
But if the one happy is the rich one and is ignorant but not a bad person hurting others on purpose I choose to be rich
