I am not an intelligent person [and like all dumb person I used to think of myself as highly smart].
But recently after reading the book “the basic laws of human stupidity” by the Italian economist Carlo Cipolla — I realized that although I am good intentional dumb — I have still caused lots of pain, hurt, losses to my most loved ones.
This conforms to the third basic law of stupidity which states — “a stupid person is the one who causes losses to another person or a group of people while they themselves gain nothing or may even suffer losses”.
All of us come out as perfect jackass — at times and numerous times during our life-time.
Every person has some form of intelligence and some form of challenging weakness — like a psychologist might be a big failure in his/her relationships, an athlete might have low EQ — or a brilliant scientist being socially challenged.
Stupid people exist — and very-large numbers — and you will always have to deal with the high numbers of stupid people — you just can’t avoid and escape them — best solution is to learn how to deal with these people.
Why should you learn to deal with people with extremely low-intelligence levels — it is also because of the truth which is the fourth basic law of stupidity by Carlo Cipolla — which states as follows.
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that in any time and place and circumstance dealing and/or hanging out with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake and he says that “stupid people are deadly dangerous because reasonable people find it difficult to imagine and understand stupid behavior.
Based on the this book’s theories I did some research on my own to discover 5 types of broad categories — people [especially in India] can be divided.
5 categories of people based on their stupidity quotient
1. Very sophisticated hall of fame crooks — who creates lots of unfair benefits to themselves but cause losses to masses
I. Almost all politicians who cheat, commit crime, loot and favor their AssLickers — Pareto laws of 80/20 fails — it would be maybe 99/1 for Indian politicians
II. Majority of bureaucrats covering all three arms — who support the politicians to build massive assets for themselves — Pareto-principal or 80/20 law fails for this category in India too — it would be maybe 95/5
III. Few well-known businessmen — who with the mutual support of politicians — loots, dupes and cheats public
IV. Religious biggies — who with the mutual support of politicians — loots, dupes and cheats public and elevate their political mentors
2. Vile evil geniuses -most these people have high recognition, power and connectivity
I. After the sophisticated-crooks — this is probably the most dangerous category — they are the people who will support anything bad — knowing it is bad — because of the psychological thrill it gives them
3. Stupid -[could be either of the three — malevolent, benevolent or cunning]- who create loss for others as well as lose themselves — nobody gains
I. They are from the class — who for a little consideration — would elect and support the big-time crooks — the powerful narcissist and megalomaniac — who being true to their nature use this unlimited blanket mandate — to destroy the country by making it weak and weaker.
4. Naïve and immature people — who suffer losses to themselves but give benefits to others — in this category — comes people who help the biggest crooks — under the belief that they will deliver what they are promising
5. Intelligent and benevolent people — who create fair benefits to themselves as well as to others and who knows — what is wrong and what needs to be done and they take all actions within their area of control
48 signs you are dealing with an inherently low intelligence person
1. Learn to differentiate between two types of stupid people and beware about the person who is stupid and knows it but hides it through arrogance and know it all behavior -typically — this one is most dangerous one and we have this category plenty and in very powerful positions too — who have the power to harm the masses

Why intelligent people miss opportunities
1. The thing with stupid people is that they don’t know they’re stupid. It sounds so obvious as to be unworthy of pointing out, but the fact haunts people in every walk of life.
2. Intelligent people approach situations with great care and delicacy. — where as people with low intelligence levels confidently screw-up most of the thing they touch — believing themselves to be the greatest thing to happen to mankind
3. Intelligence is not the same as critical thinking — and the difference matters
4. Although intelligent people are likely to get better grades in school and become successful and may get into less — the wellbeing is never connected with intelligence levels.
5. The ability to think critically — actually has the promise of creating satisfaction in life — that is the reason brilliant people without critical thinking skills do dumb things.
6. Greater intelligence does not enable you making wiser decisions — because in many cases your mental blind spots can make you look foolish.
7. When people face an uncertain situation, they don’t carefully evaluate the information — they go for mental shortcuts which can be foolish
8. Try solving the following two popular questions taken from the internet — mentally [without searching for its answer on the internet].
In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake? Or a bat and ball cost a dollar and ten cents. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
