The Laws of Stupidity

5 Basic Laws of Stupidity!
Who knew?
It's not about the level of intelligence, but about the stupidity in a social setting.
1 - Everyone underestimates the # of stupid people.
2 - The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any characteristic of that person.
3 - A stupid person is one who causes losses to another person or groups of people while they gain nothing at all.
4 - Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
5 - Stupid people are the most dangerous type of people.
Did you know about these 5 laws of stupidity?
Let me know in the comments below!

These principles can easily be spotted in everyday driving: There are the bully hot-head drivers (lower right), the drivers who are too polite and let people go ahead even though it screws up the rules of driving (upper left), the people who dont know when to turn right on red, how to merge, yield, etc. (lower left), and finally, the drivers who assess the situation calmly: when to over- take, when to hold back, and simply drive safely.

Cippola's "paper" is a classic. I say "paper" because while it's written like a real research paper, he actually wrote it as a joke, then afterwards tried to have it removed. Luckily this failed and it became even more widespread. ;) That said, it's scary how brilliantly accurate it seems. Especially when thinking about groups, such as committees - it's almost like the stupid people gravitate towards each other until they reach a critical mass of utter stupidity, at which point any decisions made become utterly moronic.

Scotland's SNP ruled government and it's supporters are really bad for that. They made low emission zones in the centre of the city of Glasgow and hundreds of their own vehicles fell foul of it and had to be scrapped. Smoking bans decimated the pub industry. The sugar taxes and alcohol taxes have pushed up the prices of a few simple pleasures for all of us, who were once trusted as being responsible for our own intake and it won't reduce the problems of alcoholism or obesity because if those people want those things, they're only going to reprioritise their spending habits, in order to still get them. The local SNP run government in West Lothian reduced all the speed limits in towns and villages from the 30mph, that it had been for years, to 20mph and replaced all the speed limit signs with brand new ones. Even though the 20mph speed limits had not been enshrined in law and were actually unenforceable! They just sat around a table and decided to do it, one day. Their thinking: 'well, some people are doing over 30, in the 30 zone, so maybe if we make the speed limit signs 20, and people break that limit, they will keep their driving under 30'. Truth was, lots of people in front of me were doing 20. It increased journey times, increased emissions, hampered deliveries and so hampered business. Oh, and increased public spending on new signs. There must not have been much of a public consultation, other than with other stupid people who were only too happy to take the hit and comply. Thankfully, after it was dropped on us from on high, like a bolt from the blue, some intelligent people must have banded together and took them to court, or something, because it lasted about 3 months and then all of the speed limit signs got put back to 30. A rare case of common sense triumphing over the self-flagellating stupidity of a devolved Scottish government, with 'wee man syndrome' always trying to look like 'the most progressive society in Europe' (which the UK voted to get out of, in a referendum, but the Scottish government would desperately love to rejoin). Modern, stupid, lefty politics sucks. It's crowds of stupid people imposing restrictions, losses and penalties on themselves and everybody else. The Scottish National Party are super nanny-state. Like a bunch of old fart and old granny fascists in cahoots with their totalitarian, revolutionary, grand-kids with ear expanders and blue hair.

[@deckuofm]

@@chriskourliourod1651 Freedom is an illusion. Freedom should be only in the virtual world, and it is dangerous to joke with the physical world. Virtuality is a relative concept and is not limited to computers. There is a lot of it in dancing and reading, but in private ownership of housing, etc. few. It can be measured by the degree of influence on the physical world. Freedom is a politically correct term for evil and stupidity. Prison is an example of freedom. There, the inmates can do whatever they want with each other. Dictatorship brings order and security. Freedom gives lawlessness, drunkenness, drug addiction, etc. We live in a world of limited resources with schedules, duties, responsibilities. One slavery is replaced by another. You just need to choose which one is better. By the way, it is possible that there was no better alternative to slavery, and in vain it is so condemned in the United States. The survival rate in the past in the wild has been quite low. It is known that some Ukrainian ataman lived in a pit for quite a long time. Nearly 100 years old. And Nazi criminals lived in prison for quite a long time. Freedom of desire is incompatible with a world of limited resources. Only the virtual world can give such freedom. It is impossible to live without rules and decrees in the hospital and the army. This is an obvious example. In other places it is not so obvious, but the essence is the same. Nowadays, people get more than 99% of the pleasure from virtual entertainment.

[@deckuofm]

@@chriskourliourod1651 In our time, dictatorship is becoming more important than in the past. Before, people were forced to do the right thing in order to survive. Now the West spends more than half of the resources on nonsense and harm. It has already provided itself with what it needs and does not want to develop correctly further. In a sufficiently technological future, dictatorship is indispensable. Pressing the wrong button can lead to a big tragedy. The world will be like a minefield. Even if the tragedy is not big in the modern sense, people's lives will be valued much more than now. Responsibility for themselves and their actions, awareness of the possible consequences for themselves or relatives for violating the rights of others is observed by a minority of people. Responsibility itself is slavery. It does not matter if it is imposed by others or by oneself. For the right people, there will be no difference if responsibility is dictated to them from above. It will be the same. But how professionally people can do it. Experience shows that only 1% of people try to observe proper nutrition, and they do it wrong. Freedom is the ideology of capricious children who do not like to learn lessons, but love to play pranks. A proper dictatorship would give people more leeway than the current one. Dictatorship will be in any case. If you do not create the right one, then it will be wrong. The correct one will give more space and maneuver and people will be freer. Restricting people for a little while is worse than forever. Prevention is better than cure. All people are at least a little bad, even the most correct ones. In humans, apoptosis is laid down, as in any other animals, so that more people die out. And extinction is the driving force behind evolution. Therefore, people must be limited so that they do not die out.

People can be functionally intelligent and still epistemologically stupid. Climate science is a good example of where some people (frequently engineers for some reason) think that some very simplistic reasoning means they know more than the worlds experts. These people refuse to examine the flaws in their responding as their certainty is a matter of identity and not rationality. They conflate knowledge of a phenomenon with a political or technical stance on responses to that phenomenon.

This definition of STUPIDITY above requires the idea of Intelligence. But the example given does seems to convert results vs behavior into a measurement of STUPIDITY. Often Luck is involved in such a statistics for results. I would suggest a different measure. Intelligence is like IQ (but NOT the same!) , but Stupidity is unconnected to IQ. Stupidity : one who makes the same mistake 3 or 4 times, often consecutively , because that person does not use his brain to think. That person is motivated by false pride, or has emotional problems ; so they make the same mistake again and again. Example: A Stupid person belongs to Group_1 that feels themselves superior to Group_2 An Intelligent person realizes that other Groups include intelligent people too.

Some say it is their "foxy tail" and to mantain it they would even hurt others. What is they do not care for? For every second of their life which is intended as time to develpe personal skills and purpose . . . They prefere to exchange any number of life seconds for valuables and/or fake popularity. . So they end up with great "foxy tail" and no more seconds. No time for own desired life - what a hugh loss. . Isn't it stupid? But tell them and they will not accept it. They do everything to be reach but neverless how much they have it is always to be continued because money makes wealth and wealth makes expenses and .....obligations . That is how it is in world of money and stupidity. They sometime excuse themself by desire to help others but all they are able to do is to share their useless "foxy tail" which rarely makes any good as it is experienced in poorest countries of Africa .
