This article looks promising! I've scanned it, yet regretfully can't take the time. Bump it and BBL. I may have some things to add.

I'm sure there is something to this. For example, it may help to explain my consistent failure to raise songbirds, no matter what procedures I use in planting the birdseed.

Third (and Golden) Law

A stupid person is someone who causes damage to another person, or a group of people, without any advantage accruing to himself (or herself) -- or even with some resultant self-damage.
(We shall come back to this, because it is the pivotal concept of the Cipolla Theory.)






The author ignores the fact that some groups of stupid people are so dangerous that they must be damaged, even if the immediate result is self damage at no gain.

At the risk of unintentional exposure, I confess that the word "stupid," as used in this article, brings a smile to my face. It is a very amusing-sounding word.
