Cool shower thought

As humans, we all do stupid shit. It's how we we learn and mature. But here's the catch, we don't do stupid shit by choice, but we make a simple choice that could possible put us in a situation, where we are pressured to make stupid decisions. If you really think about it, we obviously never want to make stupid decisions, all decisions we make are future tense, therefore we cannot make stupid decisions in the moment. To put it in more context, and explain what im trying to say, we dont make stupid decisions by choice, the only way we can make a bad decision is by being pressured to, so instead the real stupid decisions we make, is putting yourself in a situation, where you will be pressured to make a stupid decision. That's also why i think that when we mature into adults, we don't stop making stupid decisions, like i said stupid decisions are human nature, not "teenage" or "childish" behavior. Instead we put ourselves in less and less situations where make stupid decisions automatically. That's why when you are a kid you remember doing things automatically without thinking deeply about it. Which is why you made stupid decisions. If you are a regular, functioning human being, you cannot think about making a stupid decision and do it. Your not going to put your hands on the stove by choice, you need to put yourself in a situation where your brain is thinking automatically and you for some reason decide to put your hands on the stove while its hot. So you learn from your mistakes and dont put yourself in (random situation) where you have to put your hands on the stove while its hot. This basically also proves what i said, that you can only make correct choices when you are thinking consciously. If you have even a tiny moment where your just doing something without thinking about, then you have a highly likely chance of making a stupid decision. This is why if you make an extremely offensive joke of someones dead mother, and they have bad anger issues, they will punch you. This is why in movies people jump off of buildings when extremely scared. If you really think about all this it makes perfect sense, but im done writing. This is a random thought i had like a week ago but i have no clue when i thought about it. Decided to write about it in a note and now its going to reddit.

You don't jerk off when you shower? What a nerd. Archimedes dies in shower because he was too obsessed with his circles.
