You could identify 90% of the stupid people by grouping democRATs in that group.

The original illustrated version from the Whole Earth Catalog is even better.

Some examples of stupid based on his definition: Poor people and minorities who vote for democrats.

Some examples of bandits: Democrat politicians and crony capitalists.

Stupid people are energy parasites. They follow certain stupidity rules. They maximize the loss of energy of anyone who deals with them. This isn’t an accident - they follow the same logic as a swordfish that slashes throough a school of fish, destroying far more fish than it can eat, atracting sharks, and often leading to its own attack, but nevertheless, it’s how swordfish feed. Stupid people do the same thing in human social arenas - they destroy and screw up everythng they touch, waste energy, blcok things and wreck value - so they can eat the resulting trauma energy. Dealing with them never works, because to deal with them is to allow them access to your own ordered life in some way, which they will then proceed to rape and destroy in order to feed from the wreckage, and especially feed from the emotional and mental and even physical turmoil and aggravation and rage and grief they create. They are destroyers, and rapists, and spiders that suck living energy from others.

there are no innocent stupid people. They all follow the same logic. All of them. Stupidity is merely their protective coloration - the way they keep themselves from being hunted down and killed en masse.

You can put all of Hillary’s supporters in one basket, the stupid basket.

They are in one basket, but layered with BS.

I would say this guy (and his cohorts) definitely passes the stupid test.

Too true, yet how many of us are really stupid and complete unaware of it.

Brings back fond memories of “Firehat” and his blog on levels of stupid.

Ended in the ultimate level: Black Hole Stupid.

I miss him greatly.

Supposedly the dumbest 10% of voters, the ones that vote one way and then another and can’t usually give a reason that follows any sort of logical explanation, are the ones that decide elections. Supposedly all campaign money is meant to sway the swing voters, at least after the primary process. The ones that actually can be swayed.

That’s something else I find amazing. That the dumbest 10% of eligible voters who somehow manage to vote decide elections, whether or not a pub or dem wins. It could be a good result, or a bad one, but in any case the idiots decide if that is legit about the swing voters.

“Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.”

I have never underestimated the number of stupid individuals. I see many of them in my everyday life!

AES is a pretty strong enryption algorithm, even in 128 bit form. The 256 bit version is the most secure version. There are so many modes so just AES is not enough. Some AES modes that come to mind are cypher block chaining, propagating cipher block chaining, output feedback, counter mode, electronic codebook.

You should write a book! Everything in the universe is energy based. Most people do not understand that. So when you address the “stupidity rules”, you can prove them scientifically.
