The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
by noteworthy at 7:59 am EDT, Jun 22, 2009

First Law:

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

Second Law:

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

Third Law:

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.

Fourth Law:

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.

Susan Hill:

Perhaps there will be nothing but a great void, nothing within us, and nothing outside of us either. Terrifying. Let's drown our fears out with some noise, quickly.

Decius:

Stupid people like stupid black and white choices. They are blinded by their convictions.

Q&A with Slavoj Zizek:

What makes you depressed?

Seeing stupid people happy.
