Downvoted for truth. Frogs do indeed jump out of pots as they gradually get hotter. Humans are less likely to.

Any individual human (or frog, obviously) is getting out of the pot when it gets uncomfortable.

True stupidity requires a group of humans, all sitting in the pot, telling each other how lucky and special they are to have this wonderful pot, getting paranoid about outsiders who might disrupt their god-given pot-dwelling way of life, and mocking anyone who suggests that the pot might be getting a little too warm.
