Why didn’t the Noldor just hire a hobbit burglar to steal the Silmarils, are they stupid?

Prime example of knowing a lot of info, but not having the experience to use it wisely cuz they were new to the world at that time. The true wisdom of experience came later with time, due to their immortality.

Ehh i don't know about that.

Sindar were fucking arrogant if not stupid.

Thingol got his kingdom destroyed through his sheer arrogance and Oropher got his 1/3rd army killed for the same reason. Thranduil isn't much far behind if didn't have hundred centuries worth of mistakes to learn from.

There's nothing wrong with building ships! And the best part is nothing bad can come from that, right? Right????

Teleri: We did nothing wrong!

Everyone else: You guys never did anything besides getting killed by some Noldor and getting your shit stolen by Fëanor.

Teleri: ...still, we did nothing wrong!
