"An Ordinary Man," "Stupid" host Jim Wining, host Jim Wining explores the distinction between genuine ignorance (stupidity) and deliberate acts of destruction.

Host Jim Wining, Bishop/President talks about what is stupid and what is not. He uses his own personal experiences to demonstrate the difference,"An Ordinary Man," "Stupid" host Jim Wining, host Jim Wining explores the distinction between genuine ignorance (stupidity) and deliberate acts of destruction.Key Concepts Explored:Defining Stupidity through Experience: Wining shares a personal story from the fifth grade where he poured gasoline on a neighbor's lawn, believing it would make the grass sparkle and turn a brighter green. Instead, it destroyed the grass and trees for over a decade. He labels this as a "truly an act of stupidity" born from a total ignorance of the consequences.Stupidity vs. Deliberate Destruction: He contrasts his childhood mistake with someone who uses gasoline with full knowledge of its flammable nature to set fire to a building. In this case, the person isn't "stupid" but is committing a deliberate act of destruction or terrorism.The "Test" for Actions: Wining encourages viewers to apply a "test" when they see vandalism or violence on the news: is the person genuinely ignorant of the harm they are causing, or are they "smart enough to know better" and acting with harmful intent?.Political "Stupidity": He provides a modern example, stating that people who call the United States a "democracy" instead of a "republic" are making a "stupid comment" due to a lack of understanding of the country's founding. He warns that such fundamental ignorance in people of responsibility can lead them to accept the dangerous acts of others.Jim Wining concludes by urging his audience to discern whether an action is a "stupid act or a deliberate act," as the distinction is vital for understanding current events. He is the Bishop and President of Acts Ministry, Inc., which focuses on unity through the Holy Spirit.
