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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M.

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 poster: **IDIOCY**
*Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.*

It's funny that the exact same term is used with the opposite meaning by other people.
