The 5 basic laws of human stupidity 1. Always and inevitably, each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in the world 2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of the same person 3. A stupid person is one who causes harm to another person or group without at the same time obtaining a benefit for himself or even damaging himself 4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people 5. The stupid person is the most dangerous person that exists ======================================================================== I think George Carlin made it simpler. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”  Did that fella say "A net positive wealth generator in the world."? at the 5:19 mark? I've used similar arguments in regards to tax payers. |

PS: Can we not include the amount of damage really, really intelligent people have done to the world?

So the Oppenheimers of the world don't count? ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif)
Or is this more of that emotional intelligence?

I think we'd likely disagree over the types of people labeled bandits and intelligent, as well.

I'm sure that the definitions are clearly stated in the video and accompanying article on which the video is based.
If you are in disagreement with the author's premise then feel free to create your own. It's a free country.
