The actual % of stupid people.

In regards to this: http://www.searchlores.org/realicra/basiclawsofhumanstupidity.htm

The guy never gives any percent of stupid people.

After watching some of these:

One really intelligent guy:

You only have to recognize a few basic things:
1) NOBODY really "deserves" the lowest amount.
2) The ratios between the numbers always remain the same.
3) If anyone wants ANY money, someone has to take the lowest amount.
4) Nobody really "deserves" the highest amount.


The problem is, the most intelligent person has to take the lowest amount, because stupid people will ALWAYS over value themselves, their importance, and what they think they deserve.  This one, in particular, is an amazing display of extreme stupidity:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_rIsQxByNg

The top amount was a mere 5000 more than the starting bottom amount.  And the moron who got B  was "happy" with 3000 less than what the lowest amount started with in the beginning.

The document has it nailed, right on:

Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals... A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

I'm thinking... the percentage of stupid people on this planet is 90-99%.  Otherwise these game shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Uos2fzIJ0 would be ending with everyone (or a vast majority) leaving with money.

(In this show, only ONE option allows ANYONE to leave with ANY amount of money, therefore it is more logical for everyone to always pick the split option - of course it's stupid people who fuck the whole system up by stealing and thus causing the whole population to go into stupid convulsions of deception, trickery, etc.  Oh, no!  Must choose steal so I don't get stolen from!  And we claim to be a civilized people?)

I was a better person when I was a child.  I remember a horrible feeling in my gut whenever we did any exercise in school where I was reliant on another person doing their job so that I could do mine - because I would always end up getting fucked.  All the other kids logically concluded things along the lines of - everyone always takes steal so everyone always ends up the same, BUT if someone is "stupid" and takes share, then the steal takes all the money.  This "logic" is the driving logic of today's society, and we wonder why the world is so utterly fucked up.

Part of me is surprised that Bernie Madoff is in jail at all, part of me is surprised the Judge didn't walk down from the bench, pat him on the head and say, "Good boy!".
