Stupidity

From RationalWiki

Cipolla's five laws of stupidity^[1]

1. We always underestimate the number of stupid people.
2. The probability of a person being stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. 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.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people. They constantly forget that at any moment, and in any circumstance, associating with stupid people invariably constitutes an expensive mistake.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous person in existence.

[edit] More

1. Think about it... half the people you meet are stupider than the other half. And they are probably in charge.
