The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the- … -stupidity
Law 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...
This law also introduces three other phenotypes that Cipolla says co-exist alongside stupidity. First there is the intelligent person, whose actions benefit both himself and others. Then there is the bandit, who benefits himself at others’ expense. And lastly there is the helpless person, whose actions enrich others at his own expense...
Essentially stupid people are dangerous and damaging because reasonable people find it difficult to imagine and understand unreasonable behavior. An intelligent person may understand the logic of a bandit. The bandit’s actions follow a pattern of rationality: nasty rationality, if you like, but still rationality. The bandit wants a plus on his account. Since he is not intelligent enough to devise ways of obtaining the plus as well as providing you with a plus, he will produce his plus by causing a minus to appear on your account. All this is bad, but it is rational and if you are rational you can predict it. You can foresee a bandit’s actions, his nasty maneuvres and ugly aspirations and often can build up your defenses.
With a stupid person all this is absolutely impossible as explained by the Third Basic Law. A stupid creature will harass you for no reason, for no advantage, without any plan or scheme and at the most improbable times and places. You have no rational way of telling if and when and how and why the stupid creature attacks. When confronted with a stupid individual you are completely at his mercy...
A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
Those of us who have been targeted understand the relationship of these quotes to that which we are up against. The enemy is infinitely stupid with infinite cunning and great creativity.
We are NOT up against bandits, really. These are cover stories. Blood for oil. Banksters. Engineered inflation. Military parasitism. Ostentatious displays of "wealth" and waste. Covert impoverishment of non-Masons. Theft is a tool, not the ultimate logical motivation.
I could go on and on...
