A father so instructed a son,
"It's okay being an idiot as long as you're aware of your condition."

 

And a passenger asked a conductor,
"Does anyone know where this train's actually going?"
And he replied, "Not only no! but most here aren't even aware they're on board."
(Which I guess about settles that question.)

The man who knows what's going on may be the one who appears to have no
interest in, what's going on.

From our private "Field Guide & Spotter's Handbook":
How to identify a "Special Person" -- they're an idiot.

A man asked a mystic, "Is there really such a thing as "'Secret Knowledge'?"
"Yes," he replied.
And the man said, "Is it secret because it can't be put into words?"
"Yes," replied the mystic.
And the man said, "Then I'll bet that it's just lying out in the open all around us, isn't it?"
"Yes," the mystic replied.
And the man squinted a quizzical eye and said, "Is 'yes' all you can say?"
"Yes, yes, and more yes," he replied.
In years to come, as the man would look back on this conversation and attempt to
extract all profit possible there from, he'd wonder why the mystic in his final comment
included the words "...and more..."?

It takes a lot of directions to suit the eternally lost,
while but a few for those terminally sick of being displaced.

Somewhere, a bit down the line, one guy paused momentarily to muse,
"Man, I wish there'd a'been some 'secret knowledge'. Maybe it'da helped me
with my assault on 'secret ig'nernce.'"

The sign posted on that strange beach declared:
"Collectively We Drown -- Individually We Swim...(If At All)."
