Ignorant Amos reminded us of “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity” by Carlo M. Cipolla. Think of Donald Trump and his base, especially on the last one. The Laws:
1. Everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals among us.
2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses themselves.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Unfortunately, ignorant, stupid, and unskilled people do not know they are ignorant, stupid and unskilled!
