Why are people so stupid?

[Techpreneur]

Or am I just too smart?

Yes, you're too smart to be a human being.

Does anyone else have this experience with 80% of humans?

Sounds about right. Look up the "pareto principle". It applies to a lot of things in this world, not just the distribution of intelligence.

'You are too smart'. Ok? Happy?

No, wish I could be dumber to be more happy.

I feel like that for the things I'm familiar with. But the things I'm not, I'm sure I fit in the 80% of stupid people bucket.

Have you heard of Natural Selection?
It takes care to wead out morons from evolution

Common sense is not common these days. That's it

Because being stupid is a skill.

People skilled in ultra level stupidity often show their skills on various online platforms.

UGC platforms like social media & forums are fullnof people engaging in useless, stupid discussions.

You need to see what you have posted online is it something useful or useless?

That will give you your answer

Not branding exactly but it brings traction.

Noy sure how Pareto is relevant here, maybe you meant Dunning Kruger or a bell curve?

That's why I sit in front of my computer and avoid all people.

We are internet marketers and https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/yes-it-is-possible-to-legitimately-monetize-peoples-stupidity.1466265/, so be happy and just simply keep on monetizing the scene.

We are all people here, too.
Well.. at least some of us.

As old George Carlin once said, "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

 

[TheMarquis]

I smell a whiff of misanthropy here

There are 3 categories of people:
The Stupid - I will make sure both sides, me and the other one, will lose in the X deal.
The Naive - Even if I'll lose, let's the other one win, every time. No problem at at all...
The Smart - I will make sure that everyone gain something from the X deal.

I suppose every one of us has at least once been stupid or naive. I know I have been many, many times. And yet I try to belong as much to the third category as possible. Do you?

Have a nice day, all!

People are intelligent for specific areas. For other areas we are quite dumb. You will be surprised how smart they are at their profession. It's normal.

 

[Titus Kelleyhgg]

Wrong, People are not stupid. It's just your perspective sir.

 

[DevMask]

Considering how 'too smart' you are, I would expect you to know the answers to such silly questions.

 

[HustleTong]

It's okay to be stupid if you hang out with stupid people
