THE UTILITY OF ACCIDENTALLY STUDYING STUPIDITY 😉
You know, you’d think that it wasn’t worth investigating the midwit, dimwit, witless, and malicious-wit systems of thought – but you’d be wrong. There is after all very simple and consistent logic to the wit-challenged population. And it turns out it’s the same challenge faced by the entirety of the human population. It’s just that if you gather enough knowledge, because of enough IQ to gather it cheaply, you can make fewer errors than the wit-challenged populations that neither can nor are willing to gain such knowledge and make use of it without error.

I started studying the scientific method, then epistemology in general, then performative truth, then the universal logic of language itself, then finally lying. And now, quite accidentally, I’ve found myself studying what we call ‘stupidity’. And oddly enough there is a very simple logic to it all.

And unfortunately that understanding explains it, but that explanation only serves to illustrate how costly in effort and time it is to ‘cure’ so to speak, sufficiently to eliminate most of it’s hazards.

It turns out that we can eliminate the production of public falsehoods and false promises fairly easily, and that in turn limits the absorption of falsehoods and false promises by the stupid. And between both education and prohibition we can at least reduce the extraordinary friction of the stupids on civilization and mankind. 😉

(Just be glad I did it so you don’t have to.)
