The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

Very insightful article.
Explains much as to why societies and governments fail.

http://harmful.cat-v.org/people/basi...man-stupidity/

From the article:

“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. Because the stupid person's actions do not conform to the rules of rationality, it follows that:

a) one is generally caught by surprise by the attack; b) even when one becomes aware of the attack, one cannot organize a rational defense, because the attack itself lacks any rational structure.”

I can usually form a quite pithy defense, 1-7 days later.

Makes me think of this quote:
