Stupidity

The content of this episode has been on my mind for some time.  I've been reluctant to cover this topic because I don't like calling people stupid.  However, the effects of the actions of undeniably  stupid people in society, not just in America, but all over the world, have grown to a level of dominance that must be recognized and resisted. In this episode we'll consider the Five Basic Laws of Human Stupidity as posited by Carlo Cipolla in a paper he wrote and published in 1976.  Though he may have originally written this a little tongue in cheek, the truth of these five laws has become undeniable.   Join me as we consider the impact and danger of stupidity on our lives.  These impacts and dangers are growing every day.  Those who face this uncomfortable reality will be best prepared to deal with it in a way that provides benefit, not just to themselves, but to humanity in general.
