Just Can’t Fix Stupid

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.

Closing Thought–19Jul21

From The ‘Can’t Fix Stupid’ Files

There is an old joke about a guy that in the mornings would stick his leg in the toilet and pee down his leg so he did not wake his wife up……well this yahoo falls into that category of wimpy….

Michael Bender, author of the Trump election expose bookFrankly, We Did Win This Election, regaled the story of a sick supporter of the former president who refused a COVID-19 test — because he thought it would make Trump look bad.

…

“I became very close with a man named Randall,” continued Bender. “Randall is a former Marine. He’s overweight, he’s a smoker, he’s in his late 60s. He understands the health risks of COVID. When he got very, very sick and thought he had COVID, he refused to go get tested because he didn’t want to ‘add to his president’s [coronavirus case] numbers. That’s how he described it to me. He didn’t want to come out positive. He also didn’t want to come up as even a test taken.”

Just illustrates the commitment and adoration for Trump from mental midgets.
