The Final Advice for Suffering Fools
I've been writing a little bit about various ways of dealing with people whom you consider to be too foolish to be able to succeed.
I have one last piece of advice on the subject, for now. I guess it's not really like a piece of advice. It's more like a flag in the distance. If you're not there, now, you probably won't be there, tomorrow. You can work toward this goal, if you want to, though.
Like all problems, this one is best solved at the root. Just make it so there are no fools, then you won't have to wrestle with yourself to suffer them.
How do you do that?
I've found the most effective technique is to simply remove "foolishness" from my model of the world. So, for me, there are no fools because there is basically no such thing as a fool.
Maybe it's a bit revisionist, but it works for me.
