Anytime you think something is idiot proof evolution produces the superior idiot.
6th universal law of stupidity:
6. Stupid people don’t know they are stupid. Pls see Dunning-Kruger Effect
Never attribute to malice, that which is explainable by stupidity.
While this may be true, the problem is few people perceive themselves to be stupid. The biggest problem is the Left is incapable of seeing their own stupidity. Which makes a Leftist the most dangerous stupid person there is.
And, do not forget, there is no fixing stu pit.
Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, a German general said there were four types of officers: “I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers.
Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff.
The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties.
Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions.
One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.[
If you think the average American is stupid, half the population is more stupid than the average American
Yep, seen it in practice.
Arrogance amplifies the danger D exponentially, based on the following empirically-derived formula:
D = S0eA
where A is the level of arrogance and S0 is the theoretical level of stupidity in the absence of arrogance. In practice, A and S0 are always greater than zero. The level of arrogance A is partially correlated to stupidity, based on a more complex formula not included here.
It is more complicated. Intelligence is not a one dimensional value. People can be stupid in some things, brilliant in others . This is why we fall for their stupidity. Just because Einstein was truly brilliant in Physics is no reason to believe he know anything about how society should function.
Human stupidity is also a function of cerebral laziness. The avoidance of thinking, analyzing and learning.
Stupid people emote a lot. Its the fuel that drives them.
Perfect example:
A few years back I was walking out of a CVS about four in the afternoon and there was a guy at a Redbox, dressed in a suite, jacket off, white shirt still crispy pressed, in front of an S Class Mercedes.
He asked for help, he could not figure out how the Redbox machine worked.
True story.
.
The biggest problem is the Left is incapable of seeing their own stupidity.
************
The Left has made itself virtually immune to facts, logic and the lessons of history. There is no co-existing with people like that.
Not a great one.
Many stupid people are also very angry and violent people.
Malice and stupidity are not mutually exclusive.
And, do not forget, there is no fixing stu pit.
*************
That explains why the GOP is incapable of ever being turned into a real party. The Stupid Party is stuck on stupid. It is perma-stupid and some elements of it are bandits.
We cannot look to them for anything.
I don’t think the average American is stupid, but I agree that stupid people exist in all areas of life. You can tell the average American is actually quite bright because they don’t think they know everything and respect hearing new information from different people.
It’s just that the truly stupid, biased people are so noisy that there seem to be more of them than there actually are.
Anytime you think something is idiot proof evolution produces the superior idiot.
In product design Engineering, we would say “You can’t make it idiot-proof. Only idiot-resistant.
It is said that you can’t ‘fix’ stupid, you point out their anomaly.. Then they go crazy!
