Understand how stupid the average person is and realize that half of them are dumber than that. And don’t get me started on the statistical difference of mean and average.
There’s ignorant, willfully ignorant, dumb, stupid, and then idiotic. The US is charting new territory all the time. And darned proud of it too. It is to weep…
Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe — often attributed to Einstein (but probably incorrectly)
And it ALWAYS makes the headlines. . .so, based on the old saw that only bad/idjit stuff makes the headlines, does that mean that there’s not as much stupidity as there seems to be? Any hope at all
The same is falsely said about Common Sense. It’s just that those of us who still have some usually avoid getting into a discussion with your garden variety idiot.
I’ve talked to two people who think the two letter state abbreviation NE stands for New England. When did New England become a state?Just remember, spell checker is hear two stay. Cheers

You know a country is in trouble when almost half the population believes and revels in the woeful ignorance of its leader.

The universe is made up of four things: Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and Morons.

I’m guessing most of us define stupid people as those who persist in beliefs different from our own.

My son and I have a running joke based on the theological argument of whether humans are basically good or evil. We say neither. People are stupid.
