The World Needs Stupid People

The World Needs Stupid People:
Hang out in any Bar or Café and you meet them. Mind your own business on a train and they seem to congregate. Hold an election and they multiply. Park a nice car and they appear from nowhere. Who are they? They are the stupid people and I am convinced that the world needs stupid people.
Beer Goggled
Beer may be an efficient IQ destroying device but it also a stupid person illumination potion. When I go out for the occasional amber liquid refrain I am sometime confronted with the hiding stupid person. I mind my own business and tell the odd lies to my friends, nothing too big that can’t be believed but there is always one whom we shall call the nominated Dickhead. If the place is a black tie affair the nominated Dickhead with come in shorts and short sleeves so he can show off his tats. After three drinks he believes that every girl in the place wants his body. They want him so bad. After four drinks he thinks that professional hooker he has been chatting to is really interested in him as person. He takes a trip to the rest room and our unlovely but skinny lady find someone else to be genuinely interested in. The nominated Dickhead does not lose heart and he finds some unsuspecting person to retell the story of his many sexual conquests.
Promoted
If only managers were promoted due the skill, qualifications and abilities. The dream is over now and perhaps it has never begun. “We shall promote him to be rid of him,” has been the catch cry form the dawn of time. That does explain why so many have so little qualification and lack even the basic skill of staff supervision and task prioritization. “Well this is another great initiative for the work place,” I have heard too many times only see that it is some that was tried by a predecessor and failed. The confused manger is common and easy keep confused with a barrage of motivational books and the song ‘I did it my way.’ Change for the sake of change is often confused with change for the sake of improvement. There is no reason why the most incompetent person cannot rise to the level of CEO and obtain absolute power. Perhaps the smartest people in the room are not that smart.
Lovesick
The gene pool favors the stupid more than it does the intelligent. Nerds with hot babes are few and far between. Yet criminals, druggies, footballers and illiterates breed like rabbits on heat. If breeding required any sort of intelligence then humanity would never have lasted so long. Alpha males dominate the breeding zone by attracting alpha females. The rest of the world must make do with charm, personality and affection. There are several ways for a non alpha male to attract an alpha female mate: One is being an Alpha male look alike. Another is to make an alpha female laugh thus destroying her resistance. Another is to look pathetic an appeal to maternal instinct in the alpha female (Pathetic non-alpha males help mix up the gene pool and creates pathetic alpha male offspring). The final way is to have enough patience until the alpha females realize that the alpha male that were breeding with are nothing more than alpha assholes and they are now looking for a genuine meaningful relationship. Even I can fake that.
Humorless
Depression is a serious mental illness but it is no where as serious as a person who takes themselves and the world too serious. Perhaps there is a person working beside you that looks worried all the time, the kind of person that you could imagine waking up suddenly in a cold sweat and goes into frets over some issue on television. This is the sad case of a person who is completely humorless. They know about humor and have seen other laugh; they even get some sadistic pleasure from using sarcasm but deep inside there is not laughter. They were born without a funny bone. Everything is all fun and games until they hear a joke about the person that they were going to vote for, then all hell breaks loose. Such people form and join serious discussion on subjects that they have scant knowledge about and demand nothing short of complete capitulation to their thinking. The saddest thing about a humorless person is that there is no cure and no effective treatment. Humoring a humorless person will only create less good humor in the world.
The case studies I have list above were to highlight the fact stupid people are unavoidable. My opinion is that they do contribute a valuable service to the rest of humanity. They are the ones that set the standards of behavior so low that that it is easier for everyone else to waltz through life. They are the ones the rest of society can point to when they make a mistake and say at least I not as stupid as that person. Thus the value of the stupid is to make us all feel better about ourselves.
And to give us a bit of a laugh.
Senior Executive of AWB in Iraq. It is not the fact he went to Iraq and played with guns it is the fact that he let himself be photographed.

The hope for the ordinary is the knowledge that looking helpless and pathetic attracts women too.

But in the real non-economic world, it's all the bumps and arbitrariness that makes life interesting, no? It's stuff like the fact that people aren't rational.
Another random thought: fish will never be that intelligent -- there's not enough time; everything happens too fast in the ocean.

Stupidity does seem to breed at a rampant rate....street smarts, schooled education and a sense of logic all unite in very few people.

Thanks for your comments
I am not sure how to respond to the economics of he situation but I do know that assumption is the mother of all stuff ups.
Fish are lucky to avoid the scrutiny of having to use their minds.

Thanks for your comments
My advice is to breed like a rabbit to put some balance back into society.

But I never said I was smart (Though I do like to think so)....I just know what that there is a difference between intelligence and knowledge (I get the feeling Ive said that before)....
I do know that Ive still got a long way to go yet.
One of the first things you learn once you open your mind is that no one can know everything or even close...the deeper you delve into a topic the more complex it gets because few things are black and white.
There are always two points of view and I can't help but be predjudice by my own subjectivity.

I couldn't agree more and I'm happy to oblige every once in a while, for this very reason.

No one is smarter than they think.
Most people underrate themselves
And the ones the overrate themselves are really funny.
To know everything is impossible
but
The sign of some kinds of idiots is their claim on knowing everything.
Everyone loves to see the smartass fall over their own words once in a while.

Thanks for you comments.
