02/10/2025 - Discovered the following AI generated video about Stupidity, a profoundly philosophical and noteworthy piece of work, well worth forty minutes of attention. "The Five Laws of Stupidity that Rule the World."
The Five Laws: 1) Stupidity is underestimated, and everywhere. 2) Stupidity doesn't fade with education or or progress. Over time it is a consistent proportion of the population. It's an ecosystem that is amplified by technology. 3) Stupidity is more dangerous than evil because it's random and aimless. An evil chess opponent will win the game. A stupid chess opponent will overturn and burn the chess board and pieces. Evil people harm for personal gain. Stupid people unwittingly cause harm without personal gain. 4) Stupidity rises to powerful positions because stupid people act while wise people are busy thinking and doubting. 5) Stupidity is more destructive than war because it destroys systems, as in the chess board analogy. Conclusion: don't try to fix stupid. Flank it instead. It's all about positioning. |
