Dumbing Down Eleanor

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt



We’ve devolved considerably, so this is in need of update:
Small minds discuss what pisses them off—mostly stuff they themselves do.

Average minds discuss what pisses them off—stuff they mostly don’t do.

[Nobody discusses people; that would require paying attention to others.]

Great minds discuss events.

[Nobody discusses ideas; if someone did, we’d scroll past it so hard that it would be effectively invisible.]
