- Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. [ayeen's notes: never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.]
- The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.[ayeen's notes: has MA? member of MENSA? it doesn't matter. stupidity is like a secret disease.]
- 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. [ayeen's notes: i know a lot who falls in this category]
- 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.[ayeen's notes: yep, been there, done that and the outcome is NOT good]
- A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is. [ayeen: hell yeah!]
- from Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity
