I'm tempted to respond that the solution is to outsmart and thereby enlighten the grizzly, but I am currently reflecting on an episode of a Revisionist History "The Paradox of Satire" which I am struggling to digest because I had a long-held beleif that satire is a powerful tool for undermining ignorance.
tl;dl - if satire is effective enough, it becomes self-defeating, like LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem' or Machiavelli's "The Prince"
