I had to comment on the subject of stupidity ( I think of myself as being a bit of an expert). Recently I discovered a short film on Youtube. I had seen it before many years ago. It is a film by Gus Van Sant called Do Easy an adaptation of a short story by William Burroughs. I practice DE as I paint and find it to be quite helpful.
