5 Basic Laws of Stupidity!

Who knew?

It's not about the level of intelligence, but about the stupidity in a social setting.

1 - Everyone underestimates the # of stupid people.
2 - The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any characteristic of that person.
3 - A stupid person is one who causes losses to another person or groups of people while they gain nothing at all.
4 - Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
5 - Stupid people are the most dangerous type of people.

Did you know about these 5 laws of stupidity?

These principles can easily be spotted in everyday driving: There are the bully hot-head drivers (lower right), the drivers who are too polite and let people go ahead even though it screws up the rules of driving (upper left), the people who dont know when to turn right on red, how to merge, yield, etc. (lower left), and finally, the drivers who assess the situation calmly: when to over- take, when to hold back, and simply drive safely.

I recently did something stupid. I worked for a massive company that owns nursing homes. When I found out they were falsifying records to cover up sexual abuse after it happened I complained. When I found out they were covering it up in advance rather than preventing it I told them they were wrong. They told me to get my stuff and get out. Then they made up stuff about me ruining my chances of getting another job like the one I had. People told me that those I was worried about have been hurt, but everyone pretends nothing happened. If i didn't get emotional, I would still be there helping them to stay safe. Plus I wouldn't be unemployed.
