This may be a delicate subject but give it an open mind and half an hour. I found it enlightening.




I've worked with stupid and I've lived with stupid (by this definition of stupid). I've never realized that stupid creates chaos. I just figured that chaos follows certain people. I didn't realize is the lack of benefit to self and others. This video made much sense to me.

This learning lecture is well worth watching for anyone involved in any type organization or bureaucracy. The impact of "stupid" knows no size; smallest to largest, it exists.

By the time he got to the fourth degree of stupid, I recognized that he was describing most of the elected officials in the democratic party. 0bama, Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi, and a whole gaggle of house and senate members. These politicians exhibit fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh degrees of stupid. When I went back I also had to include the third degree of stupid.

The seventh degree of stupidity is when those lower levels rise to the level of writing the Standard Operating Procedures(SOP's),in other words, our laws.

For those of you that want to invest the time to watch this, it explains a lot about our political "elites".

Interesting concepts, but definitely sounds like he's got an axe to grind from some past experiences. I also would have been more impressed by his presentation if he knew how to spell correctly.

The leftists ran half of their campaign on the right being uneducated. This guy states that even the highly educated can be in the stupid quadrant.

Also worth mentioning is the trendysexuals and their imagined genders that benefit no one, including themselves.

I believe you are missing the point. (Which is ironic, considering.)

There used to be a syndicated show on talk radio in the evenings, The Bruce Williams Show. One of the adverts used the tag line "people judge you by the words you use," I think it was? Same goes for writing. He could be delivering the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, but, if his speech and writing are poor, he will lose credibility with some of his audience.

I plan to watch the video but I wanted to share some advice someone recently gave me relating to stupid people. This person told me to ‘accelerate stupid’. That is don’t impede stupid people in your organization that you don’t have control over. Let them, and even help them, fail sooner so that you can get rid of them vice trying to change their mind. Therefore, accelerate stupid.

It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Big Grin

But seriously folks, your super awesome pal, mark123, wants you to watch and comment on the video. There are two spelling errors and he only fixes one. I find the guy easy to learn from.
