    By underestimating my enemy, I almost lose what I love. – Lao Tzu

    I would argue the quote is too soft. There’s no guarantee one will merely almost lose it.

      He’s not clever though.

      He’s brazenly stupid. He never thinks things through and is incredibly easy to read and manipulate. He has almost no self control.

      He’s dangerous, but not because of anything that could be confused for cleverness.

        It’s possible for a stupid person to do or say something clever, though. You have to fight the battles that are actually before you, not simply imagine that they’re already won because you think your opponent is dumb.
