My first thought was that this movie is completely stupid at first sight but as the story progressed I realized how intelligent that guy is actually and that the people calling him stupid are the one being stupid. He has a simplistic view of reality that helps him get through life and no matter what happen he keeps going, not even realizing how hard life is for people around him while he just go do his thing.
What's striking to me is his perseverance, which I think is related to that kind of intelligence which appear as a simple minded attitude. The guy just don't over think everything like most people do and he sees what really matters.
My thought on reading that was that it could be you executing goal 72: "Be considerate of those of lesser intellectual ability and capacity." - something which you thought you were resisting in a previous post.
Seems like an issue for me as well. I'm resisting, because I'm doing the EXACT opposite.
Edit: BUT, the same behavior might also be explained through this MLS goal:
105. Remove people from your life and influence who would act as a negative for achieving these goals, and surround yourself with people who enhance them.
Credit for Eternity for posting this. I have been cutting people out of my life that drain energy by endless talk and no action. A very simplified version of cutting people out goes something like this:
Me: We should X because it is all-things-considered the best course of action , because of universally valid reasons A, B, and C.
Other person: But I feel non-X. And your reasons A, B and C are not valid for me, but might be for other persons.
Me: Then we should not X together. Good luck with your life, there's no point in doing things in a sub-optimal way.
