I'm surprised, and amused, by some reactions, people insulted by the narrator. I find this video informative, well written, and estheticly pleasing to the eyes and ears. 🤔🤯
Amused, are you? Well, they're the stupid people of which we speak. He got the housing crisis thing wrong though. That wasn't 'stupidity'. That was corruption, and was contrived from the start. They knew what they were doing.
Stupidity has nothing to do with intelligence, many examples of smart, powerful people acting stupidly are found. My mother encouraged me to listen and think for as she often said, "Even a fool can tell you something you did not know".
Very Informative. Many times a group policy or mob psyche can go wrong & public may take it for granted. As a result, many suffer or social development or R&D may not happen at proper pace
Everyone of us is effected at home, among the community, work place, more in places where we pray. I think it could be minimized by training and Patience
I came here to watch the video on Bonhoeffer. Your attempt at manipulation to watch the whole video under threat of remaining stupid if I click off REALLY made me want to close it and go find a different one. There are many. I'm going to try to resist the temptation for a while.
I felt that urge to do this also but then saw it as a test, a test I decided to pass. Stupid people act rashly, through emotion instead of thought. Listening to the argument was wise.
Great and informative video. My only concern about it is that many Trump supporters will accuse it of being politically motivated to throw shade on them. And that kind of proves the very point the narrator is making, doesn't it?
I worked with a guy who talked me into going through Western Governors University to get my BS in Software Development. The funny thing about this is that he told me the hardest class for him to get through was the Critical Thinking class. That's because he is a Christian and had really bad cognitive dissonance, mentally fighting with himself to understand how critical thinking works but still being ale to hold onto a childish, nonsensical superstition.
Right! I find the whole flicker thing STUPID. What does the author want to achieve with this? Bring us back to the beginning to the time of Bonhoeffer?
I didn't even notice the video. If you are one of the very few bothered by flickering, don't look. The pictures are just for mild illustrative purposes the "meat" of the discussion is carried by the audio.
It depends if your own application of wisdom and thought can perceive good from bad. To block out all media or to distrust all politicians on a whim would not be wise. Someone has to be telling the truth, it's up to you to distinguish it.

The theory of stupidity is this: I try to make ypu see that I do my job as well as possible because I love to do it well. I work better and have more fun when I work with those I like them like we all do. I have no visions for the labs. I'm tired of waiting for it to be understood. my favorite part is seeing all the p rocess and not just one part. That's what I like to do. if that I like to learn it is unnecessary for my role at work, it is not unnecessary for me. I don't approach people to give me positions. They inspire me! That s me! Good night
The actual theory of stupidity is: 1) People underestimate the number of stupid people. 2) The likelihood of someone being stupid is independent of other characteristics. 3) A stupid person causes losses to others while gaining nothing or even suffering losses 4) Non-stupid people underestimate the destructive power of stupid people. 5) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. I take law 5 as being merely corollary to the previous 4.
when different things happen that you don't understand, somehow you try to give "signs" to those you think won't question it. To those you trust, that is. Morality is not only about - wrongly - like you think the highest members in the hierarchy but even more the lower ones. It's easy to understand why.
I'm not looking for personal information about the people I'm interested in. I prefer that they share them themselves whenever they decide to do so -if. But I'm looking to find what they love about what they do, like their job when I see that they love it. That's why I read about ..... And I am happy when I can "offer" them a good result from my own good work. It's a way to show my appreciation and to feel beside them! This is all about
@@b8357-b7z Science has not disproved God , science "discovers" but doesn't create in the least. What science calls creation is combination and application of natural, existing conditions. Where science's understanding fails, i.e. the source of life or the inside workings of a black hole, it fails until the uncovery of more pre existing information, existence doesn't care if scientist understand it or not.
This issue has yet to be resolved and may take years, in example, I didn't receive a single vaccine out of concerns of the long term effects of mRNA. I caught COVID and nearly died. My sister got every vaccine available and seemed fine until she suddenly died of a stroke months later. With these experiences I'm still not qualified to make any blanket statements.
Excellent but I wonder about the down votes on this video. Why would anyone down votes a video attempting to dispel stupidity ?

One of the strangest paradoxes was that it the devilish powers of the world knew that killing Christ would have resulted in the Hebrew dept being paid, it seems as though the devil would not have killed Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:8 says, "If they had known, they would never have killed Jesus". All of us have a spiritual debt we cannot pay, but the Bible tells us God has paid our debt! He canceled the payment due for our sins and instead accepted the payment His Son Jesus provided when He died on the cross (Colossians 2:14). I Corinthians 2 records but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; I have often wondered why Jesus said in Mark 9:9-10, “As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.” Colossians 1:24 says: Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church … So Paul suffers, and in his suffering, he says that he fills up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. When we are moved by the Spirit, we manifest love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the gifts we offer to the adversary. Against such things there is no law. If you build it they will come... they will come back to the Garden of Eden. The Virgin Mary's Immaculate Heart Will Triumph.❤
After your comment and all other religious comments, I'm convinced of two things, 1-humanity is becoming more stupid everyday. 2-if humanity disappear it's a very small lost for planet earth, let alone for the univers. It's people like you that made me loose faith in humanity.
@ernestopires7219 Thank you for sharing your feelings. There are times where I felt the same way. I recommend 3. Watch Hacksaw Ridge with Andrew Garfield. ♥️🙏
@DarrylRaymondLerette-g2q thanks for sharing your feelings to. I recomend you to read more about sciences, culture, arts, philosophie. Travel through the world, meet different people, from other cultures, other religions or without religion at all, other realities, think with your own mind in a critical sense, be critical in a logical way, be autocritical. Go out of the church and meet the real world and not a supernatural being with the most vicious character one can ever know. Be a man and not a sheep. Religions and gods were always the main reason for wars, killing, power and money disputes, hate, ignorance, misery, conspiracies and sadness. Look what we have now, a world "shaped" by gods. The result is painful, horrible, stupid, miserable. I can't go to my mother or father and demand them to stop to believe in god, they are very old people with their small provincial beliefs, it's their life buoy, taking them this away it wood not do nothing good for nobody, but younger people with a minimum of an education, should rethink the things, they believes. We are walking in the wrong direction, we are walking in to the darkness again, right in to something terrible, worster then the middle age. All this religious hokus pokus in addition to the new technologies and a few more things, is destroying the whole humanity... Sad, very sad, stupidly sad.
@ernestopires7219 Marx would be proud of you.. I tend to listen to Frederic Douglas and Spinoza insofar as they adhere to virtue. In the U.S. we live in a Constitutional Republic built on Biblical Virtues. Cry Macho with Clint Eastwood is another one I recommend. Peace. ♥️
@DarrylRaymondLerette-g2q I hope so. Marx is one of my idols. Spinoza (philosophe of Jewish Portuguese origin, like me, turned atheist) is another thinker which I do respect very much. I recomend also Pascal, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche... "Although the Declaration of Independence (1776) mentioned God and proclaimed that “all men were created equal” and entitled to the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” the US Constitution never mentions the Bible or God other than the reference to “the Year of our Lord” First amendment in your constitution, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assamble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." I'm Portuguese, one of the oldest countries in the world and one of the oldest Christian countries in the world. We suffer from almost 50 years of a stupid fascist ultra catholique dictatorship that has as a retrograde dictatorship whose only "advantage" was to hugely and structurally set back my country and further enrich those who already had a lot. Since 1974, Portugal has become a full, multi-party democracy with a secular constitution, where parties and political movements from the left to the extreme right coexist. The extreme right has unfortunately been gaining power, as is the case throughout the world. Autocracies, plutocracies, fascisms in general are dangerously becoming the main-stream, almost always linked to a deepening of religious feeling, be it religions in general, be it the greatest of all religions, money, capital, hyper-consumerism. I include in the package of authoritarianisms the communist dictatorships present a little everywhere as well and which completely distorted the thinking of Marx and Engels. The extreme right in Portugal is also returning to Catholic fundamentalism and with its racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic discourse, it inflames the consciences of the people who, for the most part, are frightened by the new socio-cultural and religious realities and easily fall into the discourse easy and captivating of those who are innocently ignorant, those who deny science and knowledge in general because they do not have sufficient or correct training and information. I consider Marxism to be the most sophisticated, most progressive philosophical current (progress is evolution, conservatism, especially ultra-religious conservatism, is stagnation, sometimes even regression) and the one that, in my opinion, is most lacking throughout the world. An open and tolerant Marxism where a state-of-the-art cell phone is no more important than the life of a homeless junkie on the side of the road. Jesus Christ, who I see as a man who actually lived about 2000 years ago, not as a divine figure, but as a man with good values, an activist, a Marxist before his time, would be scandalized and deeply hurt to see what men did with his name and his thoughts and especially what they did with each other, for reasons exactly contrary to what he prophesied. I read the Old and New Testaments, I read the Koran, I know the foundations of the Jewish religion, I read a reasonable amount of Hindu sacred texts, I was very interested in Buddhism at a certain point in my life and I confess that I have the question of God well resolved in my conscience. That's why I confirm what you said, Karl Marx, would be proud of me and I'm proud that this is the case. I consider myself a relatively cultured man, with academic training in the area of natural sciences, with a great interest in social and human sciences, with good humanist values and who is guided by the spirit of solidarity, sharing, mutual help and peace. I believe that love is the most important force within humanity and that it is the only force that can save humanity. Peace.
Propaganda is used to promote a "political" view, this implies that you think the day is coming when the Wise turn upon the Stupid. 🤔 You may be right.

@@KobyFCooking Selective Intellectualism
Definition:
Selective intellectualism occurs when someone applies critical thinking, logic, and reasoning inconsistently, primarily to support their preexisting beliefs or to challenge ideas they oppose. They ignore or dismiss intellectual rigor when it might undermine their position.
Key Characteristics:
Cherry-Picking Evidence:
Accepting facts or data that align with their views while dismissing or ignoring contradictory evidence.
Example: A person rigorously debates scientific studies that contradict their ideology but unquestioningly accepts pseudoscience that supports it.
Double Standards in Skepticism:
Exercising extreme skepticism toward opposing ideas but applying little to no scrutiny to their own beliefs.
Confirmation Bias:
Seeking out information or arguments that reinforce existing beliefs, often while ignoring disconfirming evidence.
Performative Intellect:
Engaging in intellectual discourse not to seek truth but to showcase superiority or win arguments.
Selective Relationalism
Definition:
Selective relationalism refers to a pattern where people engage meaningfully in relationships or empathize with others only when it benefits them personally, socially, or emotionally. It reflects an inconsistent approach to relationships and a utilitarian view of interpersonal connections.
Key Characteristics:
Transactional Relationships:
Only investing in relationships that offer tangible benefits (e.g., status, resources, validation).

Building connections for strategic reasons, such as influence or advantage, rather than genuine care or interest.
Convenient Morality:
Upholding relational values like honesty, loyalty, or kindness selectively, depending on the context and potential personal gain.
Broader Implications
For Individuals:
Cognitive Dissonance:
Selective intellectualism and relationalism often lead to internal conflict, as inconsistencies between one’s beliefs and actions become harder to reconcile over time.
Stunted Growth:
By avoiding intellectual and relational challenges, individuals miss opportunities for personal development, self-awareness, and the broadening of their perspectives.
For Society:
Polarization:
These selective behaviors contribute to societal divisions, as people engage with ideas and relationships in echo chambers that reinforce biases.
Erosion of Trust:
Selective relationalism fosters distrust, as people sense the insincerity in transactional or conditional connections.
Stifling Progress:
When intellectual engagement is conditional, meaningful dialogue, problem-solving, and innovation suffer.
Addressing the Issue
Promote Intellectual Consistency:
Encourage people to apply the same standards of critical thinking to all ideas, including their own beliefs.
Example: Challenge individuals to actively seek out and engage with counterarguments.
Foster Universal Empathy:
Cultivate a mindset where care and concern for others aren’t limited by personal alignment but are extended universally.

Encourage Reflexivity:
Help individuals reflect on their motivations for engaging in intellectual or relational activities. Are they seeking truth or validation? Are they connecting for genuine care or personal gain?
Model Integrity:
Leaders, educators, and public figures can demonstrate intellectual honesty and unconditional relational care, setting examples for others to follow. 🙃
Of course the earth is flat. If it was round all the water would run off.
One of the strangest paradoxes was that it the devilish powers of the world knew that killing Christ would have resulted in the Hebrew dept being paid, it seems as though the devil would not have killed Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:8 says, "If they had known, they would never have killed Jesus". All of us have a spiritual debt we cannot pay, but the Bible tells us God has paid our debt! He canceled the payment due for our sins and instead accepted the payment His Son Jesus provided when He died on the cross (Colossians 2:14).
I Corinthians 2 records but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; I have often wondered why Jesus said in Mark 9:9-10, “As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.”
Colossians 1:24 says: Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church … So Paul suffers, and in his suffering, he says that he fills up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. When we are moved by the Spirit, we manifest love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
These are the gifts we offer to the adversary. Against such things there is no law. If you build it they will come... they will come back to the Garden of Eden. The Virgin Mary's Immaculate Heart Will Triumph.❤
After your comment and all other religious comments, I'm convinced of two things,
1-humanity is becoming more stupid everyday.
2-if humanity disappear it's a very small lost for planet earth, let alone for the univers.
It's people like you that made me loose faith in humanity.
@ernestopires7219 Thank you for sharing your feelings. There are times where I felt the same way. I recommend 3. Watch Hacksaw Ridge with Andrew Garfield. ♥️🙏
@DarrylRaymondLerette-g2q thanks for sharing your feelings to. I recomend you to read more about sciences, culture, arts, philosophie. Travel through the world, meet different people, from other cultures, other religions or without religion at all, other realities, think with your own mind in a critical sense, be critical in a logical way, be autocritical. Go out of the church and meet the real world and not a supernatural being with the most vicious character one can ever know. Be a man and not a sheep.
Religions and gods were always the main reason for wars, killing, power and money disputes, hate, ignorance, misery, conspiracies and sadness.
Look what we have now, a world "shaped" by gods. The result is painful, horrible, stupid, miserable.
I can't go to my mother or father and demand them to stop to believe in god, they are very old people with their small provincial beliefs, it's their life buoy, taking them this away it wood not do nothing good for nobody, but younger people with a minimum of an education, should rethink the things, they believes. We are walking in the wrong direction, we are walking in to the darkness again, right in to something terrible, worster then the middle age. All this religious hokus pokus in addition to the new technologies and a few more things, is destroying the whole humanity...
Sad, very sad, stupidly sad.
@ernestopires7219 Marx would be proud of you.. I tend to listen to Frederic Douglas and Spinoza insofar as they adhere to virtue. In the U.S. we live in a Constitutional Republic built on Biblical Virtues. Cry Macho with Clint Eastwood is another one I recommend. Peace. ♥️
@DarrylRaymondLerette-g2q I hope so. Marx is one of my idols. Spinoza (philosophe of Jewish Portuguese origin, like me, turned atheist) is another thinker which I do respect very much. I recomend also Pascal, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche...
"Although the Declaration of Independence (1776) mentioned God and proclaimed that “all men were created equal” and entitled to the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” the US Constitution never mentions the Bible or God other than the reference to “the Year of our Lord”
First amendment in your constitution,
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assamble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
I'm Portuguese, one of the oldest countries in the world and one of the oldest Christian countries in the world. We suffer from almost 50 years of a stupid fascist ultra catholique dictatorship that has as a retrograde dictatorship whose only "advantage" was to hugely and structurally set back my country and further enrich those who already had a lot. Since 1974, Portugal has become a full, multi-party democracy with a secular constitution, where parties and political movements from the left to the extreme right coexist. The extreme right has unfortunately been gaining power, as is the case throughout the world. Autocracies, plutocracies, fascisms in general are dangerously becoming the main-stream, almost always linked to a deepening of religious feeling, be it religions in general, be it the greatest of all religions, money, capital, hyper-consumerism. I include in the package of authoritarianisms the communist dictatorships present a little everywhere as well and which completely distorted the thinking of Marx and Engels. The extreme right in Portugal is also returning to Catholic fundamentalism and with its racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic discourse, it inflames the consciences of the people who, for the most part, are frightened by the new socio-cultural and religious realities and easily fall into the discourse easy and captivating of those who are innocently ignorant, those who deny science and knowledge in general because they do not have sufficient or correct training and information.
I consider Marxism to be the most sophisticated, most progressive philosophical current (progress is evolution, conservatism, especially ultra-religious conservatism, is stagnation, sometimes even regression) and the one that, in my opinion, is most lacking throughout the world. An open and tolerant Marxism where a state-of-the-art cell phone is no more important than the life of a homeless junkie on the side of the road. Jesus Christ, who I see as a man who actually lived about 2000 years ago, not as a divine figure, but as a man with good values, an activist, a Marxist before his time, would be scandalized and deeply hurt to see what men did with his name and his thoughts and especially what they did with each other, for reasons exactly contrary to what he prophesied. I read the Old and New Testaments, I read the Koran, I know the foundations of the Jewish religion, I read a reasonable amount of Hindu sacred texts, I was very interested in Buddhism at a certain point in my life and I confess that I have the question of God well resolved in my conscience. That's why I confirm what you said, Karl Marx, would be proud of me and I'm proud that this is the case. I consider myself a relatively cultured man, with academic training in the area of natural sciences, with a great interest in social and human sciences, with good humanist values and who is guided by the spirit of solidarity, sharing, mutual help and peace. I believe that love is the most important force within humanity and that it is the only force that can save humanity. Peace.
This is a government agent 💯
I fear the crypto currency phenomenon may turn into the next Dot Com 2.0.
A propaganda video .
Propaganda is used to promote a "political" view, this implies that you think the day is coming when the Wise turn upon the Stupid. 🤔 You may be right.
This video would be 100% better without that stupid ass old film affect. Stop using it. Don't ever use it again.
This video is seriously flawed and doing what it argues against.
that's why it got recommended.
Would you care to expound?
@kyrenthang8633 The video says overwhelming evidence to the contrary and then goes on to demonise the flat Earth movement. Answer these two questions please: where is there a flight that goes across the Atlantic from Argentina to South Africa? If resting water is flat at what point does it cease to be flat when it's ocean water? If you can't give a logical answer the video contradicts itself and is insulting the intelligence of the viewers.
@@ralphricart3177 Military flights are not hobbled by the economics of population centers and fly such routes all the time, you're obviously not a pilot of either ship or plane.
Let me give you a question, if electrons exist even though so small they can't be seen could we one day use them to communicate? Look at the device you're using right now and realize that if we can bend something so small to our will might we be smart enough to figure out the shape of World that we can all clearly see?
@@ralphricart3177 Strangely I've attempted to reply twice but perhaps the video fell off the edge of the world. 😄 Planes do and are flying those routes, your mistake was to look at commercial airlines, restricted by economy and population requirements. Research "South Atlantic Wing, Air Transport Command", that is if you believe World War II happened. I've people who argued that it was all made up and I've found it beneficial to waste little or no time arguing with them.
*Titles this video “The Theory of Stupidity - Dietrich Bonhoeffer”*
*Mentions absolutely nothing about Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity from the first second*
The channel ‘Sprouts’ has a better video about this and it does it in a fifth of the time.
I actually sought out this video since the elementary points of Bonhoeffer and Cipolla's expositions are already well understood. More meat is needed for the chewing, More grist for the grinding.
Stupidity is belief in the globe.
😆 Thanks for joining the discussion, at least someone is not afraid to be laughed at.
Hate this AI voice.
man made globle warming ha ha yep get the jab sure gov add here
Can you translate to English?
I am stupid
