It's on loop like a good porn movie.

Guessing most work with the public they hate. And rely on the benefits they are trying to get rid of.

Thank you so much from Canada. For decades, seemingly, I've been going on about this issue of stupidity in my country. Not many people have cared to listen. Not many people have believed it could be so. I'm very heartened to know of others like yourself who think similarly.

I agree there are lots of stupid people out there but what about the anomalies? I have several friends and family that are high IQ smart and still MAGAS. That is even more mind boggling.

Squid Games S2 depicts this well. Players are given chance to vote for everyone to leave & divide up the winnings. Just over 1/2 keep voting to stay even was they’ve watched others have violent death. They do so out of greed & stupidity & don’t care that they condemn those who want out to death.

The scene where the recruiter offers homeless people the choice between bread and a scratch off lotto ticket is illuminating. Over and over again they choose the lotto ticket, even though they are hungry. Only one chose the bread. #SquidGame Squid Game Season 2

No. It's the drugs and alcohol. Anything else is just an excuse to protect alcohol.

Good article. I've racked my brain over the reasons so many voted for trump and that's the one thing I keep saying too. The majority of them are just plain old stupid!

America is full of uneducated stupid people.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thanks for the article. I am familiar with these principles. I think the stupid get even more stupid as a result of the torrent of false information that feeds their stupidity and the vicious cycle continues. Also, as Boenhoffer noted...stupid ppl are more dangerous because nothing can 1/2

2/2 dislodge them from their stupidity. Logic, reasoning, evidence, etc. all go by the wayside when dealing with a dolt.

While stupidity is a constant in society, the sheer ubuiquity of it in the US is astounding. There is no curiosity. When was the last time an average adult read a bk?
2/2.

Oh my god, yes! Why???? Know a single mom. 3 kids. One special needs. Gets TONS of assistance from federal and state programs. She screams about the "woke liberals" destroying the country. Those are the people who are fighting to keep your assistance programs alive, you stupid twat!

miloandme.bsky.social•125 days ago

We all know someone like that. It's really pathetic how brainwashed they can be.

Brilliant breakdown of Cipolla’s laws of stupidity and their relevance today. It’s alarming how often people act against their own interests, and your analysis captures the danger of ignoring this reality. More people need to read this. Your insights are razor sharp.

When they lose their benefits and jobs, then what will they say?

carvinsnow.bsky.social•125 days ago

Let me guess, they like the cult swag hats.

So there is a paywall.

therealjackhopkins.bsky.social•125 days ago

No. There is NOT a paywall.

Great article! I noticed the large amount of stupidity in 2016. I have continued to be shock by how many more there are now. Will there be buyer’s remorse on their side? I doubt it.

olenatheshroomlady.bsky.social•125 days ago

Substack is caving. Sorry, avoiding at arm length.

therealjackhopkins.bsky.social•125 days ago

What does that mean? "Caving"? Substack is thriving.

Yeah, well, Elias isn't my guide for a platform to use. He has expressed his opinion. I'll stick to looking to Marc on legal matters. I have my own brain elsewhere.

olenatheshroomlady.bsky.social•125 days ago

And I appreciate it. That why I follow both.🌼🌼

Great article, Jack. I keep thinking we can fix stupid w better education and communication but it’s a bit depressing to hear that’s not going to move the needle-sigh 😳😕
