The very first law of human stupidity is that there are always more stupid people than you can assume.
Professor Carlo Cipolla, who wrote possibly the most important piece of real science concerning the human condition, in fact possibly the ONLY real science concerning the human condition , defined the five laws of human stupidity in a succinct, scientifically unimpeachable, perfect way.
And as often is the case with natural laws, there seemed nothing one could do about this unfortunate state of affairs.
I think the good professor wrote his piece with humour as a sort of salve for the soul of those few who did have the capacity to understand the abysmal reality and consequence of his discovery, which is, of course, the tragic realisation that one will forever be surrounded by idiots.
This of course was not news to me at age sixteen, in English class, I had already adapted a famous short poem written by a shipwreck survivor I think. The original:
Water, water,
Water everywhere,
And not a drop to drink.
My version:
Idiots, idiots,
Idiots everywhere,
And not a brain to think.
However, the era of COVID, and everything that happened since and continues to happen daily since then, has brought upon the world, possibly since the time of ancient Rome, the only slight reprieve from the brutal, and constant, tsunami of idiocy.
While even back in ancient Rome or feudal Japan it was still somewhat frowned upon if done in excess, beheading an irritating idiot that got in your way was a real possibility. This allowed the few non idiots to reproduce and thus advance civilisation. Unfortunately, as the idiots inevitably always outnumber us by orders of magnitude, we have now reached epic proportions of idiocy so overwhelming that people are no longer able to define what a woman is, believe “men” can get pregnant, or that faggotry is not a mental deformation or illness, that as with many other unfortunate afflictions, generally shortens lifespans, and causes all sorts of harm; especially to little babies “adopted” (trafficked) by such faggots.
But here is the slight ray of light in the eternal gloom of the stupid that darken the lives of those few, those brave few, that have to exist on this accursed planet:
You can really see them advertising their stupidity in so many ways now that it is actually much easier to spot the rare few who MIGHT not be complete, drooling retards.
And this is a good thing.
You see, stupid people think that life is harder now, because of the degeneracy and hook-up culture, atomisation of people, and “social” media making everyone an insulated, isolated, incel with zero friends.
Well… sure… that’s what all the idiots are doing.
But the few… well, you can see them far easier than ever before now.
You think now it’s harder than ever to find a woman that is not a stupid, money-hungry, illogical, cheating, gold-digging whore, or, conversely, a man that is not a lying, cheating, fuckboi, or secretly gay, metrosexual dolt. But what you don’t realise is those were ALWAYS the odds.
The proportion of idiots didn’t suddenly increase. See law one right at the top of this post. They merely REVEALED THEMSELVES!
To percentages, numbers, and levels never before seen!
You now stand a REAL chance to spot that lone sailor out in the distance who is a very good fit for your very rare non-idiotic brain to finally team up with.
But the same is true of all situations, not just intimate relationships. You can see the stupid so much easier; as if they had dumped buckets of fluorescent paint all over themselves.
So, fellow traveller… do not waste this opportunity!
Find a suitable mate and reproduce! While the idiots continue to inject themselves with murder-serum and buy into the various narratives designed to keep them into the same eternal stupidity to which their lot takes like a duck to water.
