And the Question of the Day that challenges what “everyone knows”
There’s a fine line between wisdom and nonsense—especially when you hear the same empty phrase over and over. On Low Two Pair, we’re in the business of thinking for ourselves. Today’s Thought of the Day and Question of the Day ask you to challenge the so-called “truths” that might actually be holding us back.
Thought of the Day
“The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.” – Voltaire
Voltaire nailed it. Just because something gets said a lot doesn’t mean it’s smart. Often, the dumbest ideas wear the most familiar disguises. We stop questioning them—not because they’re true, but because they’ve been around long enough to sound like they are.
The Danger of Familiar Lies
You’ve heard them:
– “Everything happens for a reason.”
– “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
– “The customer is always right.”
These sayings get repeated so often, they sneak into our minds unchallenged. But repetition isn’t proof. It’s just marketing for ideas that may have expired years ago.
This is why the Thought of the Day matters—it’s a daily gut-check to see what’s actually worth believing and what’s just mental background noise.
Question of the Day
What’s a popular saying or belief that you think is actually nonsense?
This is your moment to push back. What “wise” phrase do you think should be retired? What belief does the crowd keep clinging to even though it no longer makes sense?
This Question of the Day isn’t just rhetorical—it’s an invitation to challenge the status quo.

Why We Keep Repeating Dumb Ideas
We’re wired to seek comfort in the familiar. That’s why we hang onto catchy phrases—even if they’re hollow. But wisdom isn’t about echoing what everyone else says. It’s about stopping long enough to ask: Is this actually true?
That’s what Low Two Pair is here for: helping you think, question, and see more clearly—even in a world full of noise.
