not worth the time to listen

I thought this would be tongue in cheek. It wasn't, actually referring to people with lesser intellectual capabilities as 'stupid' over and over. People I may refer to that way are those who have the IQ, education, or whatever they need to handle a situation but don't use what they have to act according to what they are equipped with through laziness, selfishness, lack of critical thinking, not taking proper time, not consulting or notifying appropriate people, etc. A very insulting work for those who may not have been able to gain education for various reasons, or do not have the mental capacity someone else might have been blessed with from birth. The end of the book presents some questions to ask yourself and suggestions of actions to take for those who feel they need more mental stimulation, which is good regardless of where you are at now, to keep from being frustrated or feeling odd or lonely, and for challenging yourself to grow. None of these suggestions are earthshatteringly new, but it's nice to have them in one place if you are someone looking for stimulation or growth.
