..to Carlo M. Cipolla, author of The Five Basic Laws of Human Stupidy, there are 4 groups of people: helpless, intelligent, bandits and stupid people with stupid people perhaps the most dangerous group of all. J6 rioters [incl GOP, ffg sycophants] are imo in the latter group bc they blindly followed an idiot to their own detriment causing harm not only to themselves but to others.
LAW #3: A STUPID PERSON IS A PERSON WHO CAUSES LOSSES TO ANOTHER PERSON OR A GROUP OF PERSONS WHILE HIMSELF DERIVING NO GAIN AND EVEN POSSIBLY INCURRING LOSSES.
Stupid people will inevitably make decisions that confuse us – their reasoning simply escapes us. It’s not that they are ill-willed, it’s just that they are incapable of seeing the effects of their actions in a broader context. To this end, Cipolla noted, “There are people who, by their illogic actions, not only cause harm to other people, but also to themselves.”
LAW #4: NON-STUPID PEOPLE ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATE THE DAMAGING POWER OF STUPID INDIVIDUALS.
Cipolla expanded on this law: “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.” Our own naivete makes us vulnerable: “Stupid people are deadly dangerous because reasonable people find it difficult to imagine and understand stupid behavior.” Don’t try to make sense of them, just avoid them.
