The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-five-universal-laws-of-human-stupidity

Quote

Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

And its corollary:

A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

If you willingly engage the stupid, you do so at your peril.

Why do we say our bollocks itch when in point of fact it's usually our scrotum? If your actual testicles itch you probably have a serious problem.

Sounds like something a stupid person would say.

I don't know what you're mad about.  He said you were smarter than Kz, TEW, Procus, Mike and Lynched and roughly on par with Zucker.

Those who deploy a Dunning-Kruger effect accusation may be experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect themselves.

But I just did the same, so...

Wait...

Bloody hell.

 Yeah, but even that depends on what software he is currently running.

The overwhelming mental fragility to require constant reassurance from internet randos about how smart you are is definitely a sign of intelligence

Alls I know is smart people dont spend countless hours on the EMB trying to convince themselves how smart they are.

It's probably a new Wokespeak word for people who do poorly in school.

I occupy a lot of space- Rent free here in CVON. It's clear by the number of personal attacks shot my way. 

I wear them like a badge of honor.

I’ll give some insight.  It was used by a trans person.  IMO I don’t see the connection  ?

Or, you just pretend to put people on ignore once they start effortlessly making you look like the mental midget you are. 

[Ipiggles]

If I had to guess, Boogerman, just shot another personal attack at me. /\/\/\

   Thanks for the space.
