Laws of Stupidity<\/span><\/p>\n

The economic historian Carlo Maria Cipolla is famous for his essays about human stupidity. The essay, The Fundamental Laws of Human Stupidity, explores the controversial subject of stupidity. Stupid people are seen as a group, more powerful by far than major organizations such as the Mafia and the industrial complex, which without regulations, leaders or manifesto nonetheless manages to operate to great effect and with incredible coordination. These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.<\/span>
\n 2) The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.<\/span>
\n 3) A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.<\/span>
\n 4) Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.<\/span>
\n 5) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many would love to avoid paying tax but only the rich manage to do so. The poor realise, therefore, that they have to pay taxes even for them.<\/span>

Politicians of the Left say that those of the Right are dangerous for our country, those of the Right in turn say the same thing about their colleagues of the Left. I would simply put forward the idea that perhaps both are dangerous.<\/span>
\nCarl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n
