I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. .-- John Stuart Mille

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

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

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

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.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Compartmentalise. It’s a trait of Homo sapien to convice themselves things are true, so they can believe any bullshit, try not to fall for it yourself in otjer areas.

The problem for me arises when they speak from authority on another subject they are expert in, if they’re so naive and easily misled on that, how can i trust their opinion on anything substantive?

A superb example of this is Katherine Hayhoe. I get around it by just reading nothing she writes on climate change because her evangelical christianisim just muddies the waters too much to take her at all seriously. On a side note, my goto is Professor Kevin Andersin.

Enshittification is subtle and started long before we realized.

No it didn’t , lot of folks have been banging on about it for decades.

Like privacy, most peole dont give a shit until it’s too late and then say but no body said anything.

I’ve been screaming into the void from the mid '90s.

Yeah, i went Steam in stead, Nintendo makes my skin crawl with disgust.

A sane head of government, just that akone is priceless but apparently not that common anymore.

Not really working and just commenting on stuff they have no expertise in. I’m as skilled at it as tbey are, just not listened to as much :)

A frieds gfs , I was clpse to both, he left her, she was distraught, she hugged me … and my erection, I tired the “move my ass back” thing but i think that made it worse.

Several decades ago now :)

Boost, Jerboa and Racoon. The latter two from F-Droid.

And probably sometime on the first few dates, at least asking about family.

Really ? My parter didnt meet any of my family until about year 3, not “date 3”. I have met her mother 3 times but none of her siblings and that’s at year 10… I find family a chore and so does she. I have mostly nothing to do with mine and prefer being with people who have similar views. My family are mostly conservative aka hateful, hurtful and science denying.

Maybe if you’re 18 it’s a thing, later in life, not at all.

Neutral is the more offensive stereotype :) just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal.

and crazy, people realize that YOU are one of the people directly responsible for fucking with their lifeline
