  • These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

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

    2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

    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.

    1. 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.

    2. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.




  • Throwing aside the current administration…

    That’s not true, I noped out after they want pants on head insane after 9/11, you’re just seeing that amped up now. People just normalised it as they will this.

    I spent quite a bit of time there and lived their briefly early this century but havent been back since.

    There’s so much to see in the US.

    Agreed but the worlds big place and lots to see

    It’s a roadtripper’s dream.

    Or nightmare because you’re forced to use a car, train travel is laughable and walkabilty is ridiculous in most places.

    But to be fair for environmental and carbon emission reasons I don’t fly anymore and try not to drive unless it’s essential.
