5 Laws of Human Stupidity

By Carlo M Capolla in 1976.
Study History of Economics.

1. Always and invariably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

They are very common in every walk of life.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristics of that person.

There are stupid Nobel prize winners.

3. A stupid person is a person who always causes losses to another person or a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

Typical example is any  Ceylonese who becomes or aspire to become the President of Ceylon with the help of absolutely stupid electorate.

4. Non stupid people always underestimates the damaging power of the stupid people in particular, and non stupid individuals constantly forget that all times and places and under any circumstances to lead and/or associate with stupid people always turn out to be a costly mistake.

Good example is the duo of Wirawansa and Holman Pila or better known as Gonman Pila.

5. The stupid person is more dangerous than a pillager.

He goes onto categorize four groups on two scales on x and y axis on benefits to oneself and others.

1. Intelligent people are the ones who act to benefit oneself and others.

2. Bandits are the ones who deprive others of any gain and pockets everything to their pockets.

The politicians of all shades fall into bandit group.

My convention European Economic Commission falls into the bandits group and it's ally NATO singing the bandwagon.


3. The third group is the one who benefits the others but with no gain to (benefit provider) self.

They are the naive guys who are often taken advantage of.

The fourth and the most dangerous are the ones who deprive themselves of benefits and others.
They actually are the most boisterous of all.

They are the ones who fall into the 3rd Law of Stupidity.

The actual estimate of them are the same, irrespective of class, race, ethnicity, country, social order or any other measurable criteria.

Mind you every one of us has little bit of this stupidity in economic sense.

Absence of stupidity does not make one intelligent.

This guy was an economic major.


This Italian guy prudently avoid using feminine gender when describing stupidity, fearing of course the collapse of the institution called family or marriage.
Good on him.

Could the God be considered stupid creating white, black and brown people on this planet to fight each other on daily basis.
