Holy hell "unvaccinated" is trending on twitter and my god what an epic shit show of stupidity is festering over there.
@freemo There's nobody left for them, but the crazies. :)
@hasmis @freemo There's an excellent (1976) essay by a guy named Carlo Cipolla on the general topic of stupidity. You may already have seen it. If not, it's worth checking out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M._Cipolla
See in particular, his 1st law: "Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation."
There's also a nice two-factor classification scheme in there (see the figure in the wikipedia article).
Reminds me of this #demotivator poster: **IDIOCY**
*Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.*

Or in the case of Elon Musk stupidity in a group of one.
Actually from a fedi viewpoint he is a 'useful idiot'
@zleap @pj @aebrockwell @freemo OMG, this is a nested thread. Brain turning off for the day...
