This is true, and ignorance is the most significant cause of danger and evil. When something tragic finally happens, the stupid person will say, "I'm sorry. I didn't know." You might then be exposed as the one with foresight and understanding who "ignored" the need to use your response-ability. This exemplifies that people must acquire wisdom or, at the cost of all they have experience understanding. People who can read to better understand but don't are likely to ignore that they may have many dormant capabilities that could increase their potential. When you forget that someone is stupid because they overlook the need for clarity and understanding, you also increase the threat because many people can not imagine seeing their casualness can cause casualties.
Stupidity can also be defined as a lack of curiosity. It's intellectual laziness not to be curious about almost everything. The more curious you are the more you learn the more you learn the lonelier or you get.
You can be curious about everything but I doubt if that makes you smarter. It can overwhelm you so you have to focus. I think focusing on a subject is the best remedy against feeling lonely with your knowledge.
this is what smart people have been trying to give to humanity----->th-cam.com/video/_EkMjTnWk14/w-d-xo.html as a point. try to teach this direction to people you know and see how fast they will get away from you. this happened to me. i been at this for 10 plus years. i know this is the real solution to the human stupid problem.
I disagree: The video explains that stupid people in a position of power are dangerous. Many of these people are as well academically educated. They cannot contribute to the benefit of their society & their actions cause harm to the society & to themselves. Your comment merely reflects class bias.
Ignorance is the "thought virus" that spreads a pandemic of stupidity. Slothful ignorance is "the cause" of vice-gripping weakness. Stupidity is "the effect," the most blatant symptom of this evil virus.
I made a definition of stupidity for myself: people who cannot and do not want to see and consider consequences of their actions. Especially is especially visible on the roads.
The word ‘stupid’ originates from ‘the word stupor’… To be stupid originally meant to be in mesmerization or ‘stupefied’… So to be stupid is to be unable to be outside of a trance-like state.
@ where I live people have lawn signs that say “ hate doesn’t live here” right next to the second lawn sign that says ”vote Harris”. I point out to these people that they are clearly voting out of hatred for Trump, themselves, their friends and family, and their entire country and they don’t understand the irony.
At this time, it must be nearly impossible to underestimate the number of stupid people. People are openly showing pride in it and as George Carlin put it, they're "clotting" together in huge groups.
The fact that you would buy into the thoughts of a a former druggie, drunk, and bitter individual, makes your place on the 'stupid' scale somewhat suspect.
We're in the calm before the storm from now 'till Jan.20. Enjoy this time, but prepare for the inevitable, there's a clown running the circus. What could possibly go wrong!?

Intelegence is understanding that you can never learn enough and continuing to pursue more knowledge despite this fact. The more you learn the more questions you have. Stupidity is thinking you know enough or more than others without any evidence. There is no more journey for stupid people. They have stopped growing. Handle them like children, but respectfully.

I have always known that animals are far more intelligent than they are given credit for. My beloved border-collie was far more intelligent than a lot of people I know!
The real question is: was there a moment in my life during which I behaved as a stupid? What I did? What can I do to repair? How I can avoid to behave in a stupid way in future?
Everyone has made a stupid decision and EVEN those considered intelligent. The truth is we are all capable of being stupid and this happens at any given time, now THAT is the scarry part. I've been stupid so many times and lost so much, but ive also made great decisions that I still benefit from to this day. Life is a process of trials and errors. Even the most successful celebrities dropped the ball a few times . Some people are lucky to have great support and recover from their stupidity, but like I said , you may make a stupid decision at any time.
Yes, we have all made stupid decisions. But the difference between intelligent people and stupid people is that intelligent people realize they have made a mistake while stupid people continue to believe in their stupid decisions.
We have lost our education systems and the media has failed (bought out by the bandit billionaires). Therefore I predict the US is doomed. Might as well party.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. If you are referring to "formal education", then yes. But education comes in many different ways, for example, this video is a form of education. Schools teach knowledge, not thinking. Students are expected to learn the higher level and realize how to think based on knowledge.
I wonder if everyone possesses intelligence, helplessness, banditry, and stupidity in varying degrees. It seems stupidity develops when people are shielded from the consequences of their own actions.
Your thoughts made me think of my theory " The only reason a man or woman is rude or disrespectful to another person or even an animal, is because they forgot what it's like to have their ass whooped". Or they don't have a clue.
In this short video you have masterfully highlighted the entire problem in the U.S., particularly in regard to how education has been deliberately hijacked, and perverted - to condition and essentially handicap the populace on a grand scale, making them ripe for all the things to set in that we now see.
Stupid people are dangerous and unpredictable--I AGREE. I have a renter who lives in a little house on my property. Assuming (a dangerous thing to do) he had a normal amount of common sense, I told him if he wanted to burn trash, just go ahead. He burned a bunch of trash on a day with a roaring 30 MPH wind. One spark could have burned down the whole neighborhood, since we live in a very dry area. So I told him to ask permission each and every single time he wants to burn trash. He got mad. He was too stupid to see how stupid he was. He objected to the restriction, saying he was being careful because the trash he was burning was mostly plastic. It only takes an ember made of a little piece of paper or even a spark of heated rust from the incinerator to ignite a massive fire on such a dry day. But he's too stupid to think of that. I only burn when the dew is heavy in the morning, or immediately after a rain.
This describes my father in law. He is stupid, plus he is infected with religion. The destruction this guy has left in his wake , boggles the mind. He lacks curiosity, and he refuses to embrace change.
Such a timely video, as I see this post election. ........ Having had a stupid person close to me, it was otherworldly how badly he made decisions. We'd discuss the pros and cons of options, then he'd just react to something and make decisions based on that. There was no foundation on which he based his life. It was just reactive... Because it was Friday and he felt like pizza, he drove drunk to get it, having drunk 12 beers! ... Nor did he ever learn from past mistakes. Near misses did not influence repeating the same idiotic moves. I could not expose myself to the danger this person presented to my sanity and safety, and got as far away as a could.
We urgently need an anthology of human stupidity. It would include a lot of military and political people, plus quite a few media and religious celebrities. A very damaging crowd. But not so often to themselves. Was a person ever fired because of his/her stupidity? They tend to keep their position when they are not promoted.
The truth is that we all have within us degrees of intelligence, helplessness, banditry, and stupidity. It's a matter of the degree to which we possess these traits and are aware of their positive and negative impacts on ourselves and others. We are all a work in progress or we should at least strive to be.
Other than math and science, my grades in school were close to a D- and i graduated. However i am surrounded by the incompetent and moronic people daily that seem to destroy everything they come in contact with. Now we have the dumbest individual of all back in the white house and there is nothing smart people can do to overide the chaos that is about to be unleashed. I can at least function daily without help from anyone were these stupid individuals drag everyone around them down and make a mess of everything. //// WE ARE F'd AS A NATION, And the numbers of stupid people who voted are insane
Really ??? I assume you voted for Harris ? This election should have been a slam dunk for the democrats. The republicans shot themselves in the foot with the abortion issue. ALL they had to do was put up a decent candidate. Keep rewarding the democrats with your vote. See if anything changes. Trump.... Bring back our industry, jobs, profits and the taxes all those things used to pay HERE. Stop the never ending, avoidable, EXPENSIVE (borrowed money) wars. He canceled the "secret". TPP trade agreement. Secret for a damn good reason. Forced the Europeans to pay more for their share of NATO. Which one of those do you disagree with ? I'm just scratching the surface..... And, I'm not a Trump voter, not a hater or lover of Trump.

The difference between collectivist ideology and individualist ideology - one is based on considering the changeable feelings, beliefs, ideas, to be the ultimate truths on which to base human existence and action, the other takes facts, evidence, reality, reason, analysis, as the truth on which to base human existence and action - we can see, daily, how one is destructive to human society, and the other supports human flourishing -
I apologize if this comment comes across as pedantic. In Italian, “ci” is pronounced “chi.” Therefore, Mr. Cipolla’s last name is pronounced “Chipolla.” How someone could make a video and mispronounce the author’s name of the work he is discussing is beyond my comprehension. Has the video maker never heard of “Leonardo di Vinci, or the opera composer, “Giacomo Puccini?” Has he never seen “Fettuccine Alfredo” on the menu? Talk about “stupidity!” This “stupidity,” in my book, undermines the video maker’s credibility. If he doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of the author correctly, if he hasn’t done his homework regarding the correct pronunciation of his subject’s name, how can we rely on his content? Additionally, and equally troubling, his “stupidity” is spreading “stupidity” as his viewers will ape his mispronunciation! I hope this helps.
No, he's pronouncing the name the English way. By the way, intelligent people are not so quick at drawing conclusions and naming people. Why are you so unrealistic?
I had to search for this topic, get it, I had to.... I need to try to understand the mass morons surrounding me in America on our post election day here
I liked this video a lot, very informative. It made sense to me. I have only one question. If everyone thinks everyone else is stupid? How do you know who is actually intellegent or at least reasonably intellegent? I'll rewatch this video, maybe the answer is in there and I just missed it.
Great question! Cipolla’s main idea is that while everyone can act “stupid” at times, true intelligence is about recognizing patterns and making decisions that benefit both yourself and others. To identify someone reasonably intelligent, look for those who make choices that create mutual benefit, show empathy, and solve problems without causing harm. It’s not about perfection - intelligence is about understanding, learning, and contributing positively to the world around you.
Stupid people think that everyone is as stupid as they are. Witness all the vitriol towards the educated 'elite'. Remember, it was the tree of knowledge that bore the forbidden fruit.

My buddy’s old saying… “stupid should hurt”.
@rduse4125
: it does do !! But the stupid does not find out the reason of its hurt.
The real question is: was there a moment in my life during which I behaved as a stupid? What I did? What can I do to repair? How I can avoid to behave in a stupid way in future?
Mistake or stupid OR same?
useful, thanks
Thanks for sharing.. it's wonderful content
Well researched findings. Thank you.
Everyone has made a stupid decision and EVEN those considered intelligent. The truth is we are all capable of being stupid and this happens at any given time, now THAT is the scarry part. I've been stupid so many times and lost so much, but ive also made great decisions that I still benefit from to this day. Life is a process of trials and errors. Even the most successful celebrities dropped the ball a few times . Some people are lucky to have great support and recover from their stupidity, but like I said , you may make a stupid decision at any time.
Yes, we have all made stupid decisions. But the difference between intelligent people and stupid people is that intelligent people realize they have made a mistake while stupid people continue to believe in their stupid decisions.
9:30, HAH, education systems and media are the LAST entities to even understand, yet promote critical thinking.
We have lost our education systems and the media has failed (bought out by the bandit billionaires). Therefore I predict the US is doomed. Might as well party.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. If you are referring to "formal education", then yes. But education comes in many different ways, for example, this video is a form of education. Schools teach knowledge, not thinking. Students are expected to learn the higher level and realize how to think based on knowledge.
@@mr.anti.conservatives-u6f I was refering to formal education, yes.
The difference between genius and stupidity? Genius has limits.
I have tried to explain this so many times, thank you for this post.
I wonder if everyone possesses intelligence, helplessness, banditry, and stupidity in varying degrees.
It seems stupidity develops when people are shielded from the consequences of their own actions.
Brilliant!
@@sbarr10 Well said.
Your thoughts made me think of my theory
" The only reason a man or woman is rude or disrespectful to another person or even an animal, is because they forgot what it's like to have their ass whooped". Or they don't have a clue.
Mmm… OR, maybe, when they are taught to blame others for the consequences of their own actions… 🤔
They were “taught” because their parents did the same
Excellent presentation!
Really enjoyed it
In this short video you have masterfully highlighted the entire problem in the U.S., particularly in regard to how education has been deliberately hijacked, and perverted - to condition and essentially handicap the populace on a grand scale, making them ripe for all the things to set in that we now see.
Well said...
Stupid people are dangerous and unpredictable--I AGREE. I have a renter who lives in a little house on my property. Assuming (a dangerous thing to do) he had a normal amount of common sense, I told him if he wanted to burn trash, just go ahead. He burned a bunch of trash on a day with a roaring 30 MPH wind. One spark could have burned down the whole neighborhood, since we live in a very dry area. So I told him to ask permission each and every single time he wants to burn trash. He got mad. He was too stupid to see how stupid he was. He objected to the restriction, saying he was being careful because the trash he was burning was mostly plastic. It only takes an ember made of a little piece of paper or even a spark of heated rust from the incinerator to ignite a massive fire on such a dry day. But he's too stupid to think of that. I only burn when the dew is heavy in the morning, or immediately after a rain.
Very educative
Stupidity, mediocrity, and inferiority…. 3 baddies I’m overcoming. I realize how destructive these are to myself and others.
Acknowledging your frailties a good start to growth.
A region or section of humanity can have a profound effect on society, and the environment
This describes my father in law. He is stupid, plus he is infected with religion. The destruction this guy has left in his wake , boggles the mind.
He lacks curiosity, and he refuses to embrace change.
Someone suggested curiosity as an answer to stupid.
let me guess. He voted for Trump?
Such a timely video, as I see this post election. ........ Having had a stupid person close to me, it was otherworldly how badly he made decisions. We'd discuss the pros and cons of options, then he'd just react to something and make decisions based on that. There was no foundation on which he based his life. It was just reactive... Because it was Friday and he felt like pizza, he drove drunk to get it, having drunk 12 beers! ... Nor did he ever learn from past mistakes. Near misses did not influence repeating the same idiotic moves.
I could not expose myself to the danger this person presented to my sanity and safety, and got as far away as a could.
I grew up thinking I was stupid because my parents criticizing me, but now I'm 45, Holy Cow! I wonder how we got through the stone age
You may have ADD. I did, and was told all my life I was dumb.

We tend to overvalue our parent's opinions. The opinions of strangers are actually more impartial and valid.
We urgently need an anthology of human stupidity. It would include a lot of military and political people, plus quite a few media and religious celebrities. A very damaging crowd. But not so often to themselves.
Was a person ever fired because of his/her stupidity? They tend to keep their position when they are not promoted.
People can be smart individuals but stupid in groups, corporations, political parties, religions, government agencies
Yes!
Perfect
@@JTSunriseMusic & now whole political parties . . .
The truth is that we all have within us degrees of intelligence, helplessness, banditry, and stupidity. It's a matter of the degree to which we possess these traits and are aware of their positive and negative impacts on ourselves and others. We are all a work in progress or we should at least strive to be.
Oh my God it's gorgeous thank you I really love it❤❤❤
Agreed. It's gaining momentum every month. Poor education is one Contributor.

Great and insightful programme ; give us more !

Excellent presentation and layout of very valuable information!
Other than math and science, my grades in school were close to a D- and i graduated. However i am surrounded by the incompetent and moronic people daily that seem to destroy everything they come in contact with. Now we have the dumbest individual of all back in the white house and there is nothing smart people can do to overide the chaos that is about to be unleashed. I can at least function daily without help from anyone were these stupid individuals drag everyone around them down and make a mess of everything. //// WE ARE F'd AS A NATION, And the numbers of stupid people who voted are insane
So you think it were the intelligent people who voted in this election for the genocides in office and warmongers
And you presume you are smart? Presumptuous and arrogance.
Really ???
I assume you voted for Harris ?
This election should have been a slam dunk for the democrats. The republicans shot themselves in the foot with the abortion issue.
ALL they had to do was put up a decent candidate.
Keep rewarding the democrats with your vote. See if anything changes.
Trump....
Bring back our industry, jobs, profits and the taxes all those things used to pay HERE.
Stop the never ending, avoidable, EXPENSIVE (borrowed money) wars.
He canceled the "secret". TPP trade agreement. Secret for a damn good reason.
Forced the Europeans to pay more for their share of NATO.
Which one of those do you disagree with ?
I'm just scratching the surface.....
And, I'm not a Trump voter, not a hater or lover of Trump.
Our state and local governments hire alot of these kind of people !
This reminds me of a certain famous American
Depending on who you have in mind, you might be the problem…
Does he have a statue at the Burbank airport?
Many
That is only an effect of age, everyone can get dementia...
Judge not least thou be judged.
The current state of our societies is proof we have stupid tools in politics and law enforcement,
Great insight.
It has been my life's mission to steer clear of anyone dumber than myself.
"Influenced" is the word, when people are easily influenced without being able to reason and take judgement, even post event that they were scammed, what had influenced remains as worship.
Simply put: A stupid person is ignorant and closed minded. Of course they're dangerous!
I'll try harder to be more helpful and more intelligent. Right now we have to many bandits and they wield great power. I like your teaching.

Stupidity? What about the Biden Harris voters, who imagine that for 10 million illegal immigrants with no money jobs housing food education medical services, gold will rain from the sky ( if it rains money then inflation follows and money becomes worthless) and they will be able to pay for necessities...THAT IS STUPIDITY! Needless TO SAY, Hollywood elites do not care because Everybody will pay it in taxes, and their share is very small compared with their resources. Even with Trump, there is a bill to pay but of course it is smaller.
The difference between collectivist ideology and individualist ideology - one is based on considering the changeable feelings, beliefs, ideas, to be the ultimate truths on which to base human existence and action, the other takes facts, evidence, reality, reason, analysis, as the truth on which to base human existence and action - we can see, daily, how one is destructive to human society, and the other supports human flourishing -
I apologize if this comment comes across as pedantic. In Italian, “ci” is pronounced “chi.” Therefore, Mr. Cipolla’s last name is pronounced “Chipolla.” How someone could make a video and mispronounce the author’s name of the work he is discussing is beyond my comprehension. Has the video maker never heard of “Leonardo di Vinci, or the opera composer, “Giacomo Puccini?” Has he never seen “Fettuccine Alfredo” on the menu? Talk about “stupidity!” This “stupidity,” in my book, undermines the video maker’s credibility. If he doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of the author correctly, if he hasn’t done his homework regarding the correct pronunciation of his subject’s name, how can we rely on his content? Additionally, and equally troubling, his “stupidity” is spreading “stupidity” as his viewers will ape his mispronunciation! I hope this helps.
Foolish fool
No, he's pronouncing the name the English way. By the way, intelligent people are not so quick at drawing conclusions and naming people. Why are you so unrealistic?
Thank you, I needed an answer to the current situation in USA
😵💫 yes.
I had to search for this topic, get it, I had to.... I need to try to understand the mass morons surrounding me in America on our post election day here
I liked this video a lot, very informative. It made sense to me. I have only one question. If everyone thinks everyone else is stupid? How do you know who is actually intellegent or at least reasonably intellegent? I'll rewatch this video, maybe the answer is in there and I just missed it.
Great question! Cipolla’s main idea is that while everyone can act “stupid” at times, true intelligence is about recognizing patterns and making decisions that benefit both yourself and others. To identify someone reasonably intelligent, look for those who make choices that create mutual benefit, show empathy, and solve problems without causing harm. It’s not about perfection - intelligence is about understanding, learning, and contributing positively to the world around you.
Stupid people think that everyone is as stupid as they are. Witness all the vitriol towards the educated 'elite'. Remember, it was the tree of knowledge that bore the forbidden fruit.
