As you already know I like using that term….can’t fix stupid at lot….but according to some there is more than one type of stupid.

Here is that breakdown for you….the 5 laws of stupid….

The most dangerous person in the room may not be the greediest, cruelest, or mentally wackiest. It’s the stupid people you always have to watch out for.

A selfish person usually wants something. Find the incentive, and you can often predict the behavior. The more dangerous person harms others without helping themselves — and may even suffer alongside their victims.

That’s one of the hallmarks of stupidity, as outlined in The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, a satirical essay written in 1976 by economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla. He did not define stupidity through IQ, low education, or ignorance. He defined it through outcomes: Who gained, who lost, and whether the damage served any purpose.

Cipolla did not present these as literal scientific “laws”. He used satire and a simple payoff model to make a serious point: intelligence, education, and status do not prevent people from making decisions that harm both themselves and others. In his framework, stupidity is not a fixed trait. It is a pattern of behavior defined by its consequences.

I believe that Number 5 is the most profound.

The current admin is proving #5 is spot on.
