Interesting read indeed... "We may have heard of “collective intelligence,” but there is also “collective stupidity,” and it is a force with equal influence on the world."

"This new theory of stupidity I have proposed here — that stupidity is not a lack of intelligence or knowledge, but a lack of awareness of the limits of one’s intelligence or knowledge — is more important right now than ever before, and I’ll tell you why."

"By cultivating this type of awareness in ourselves, and making an effort to spread it to others, we can fight back against the stupidity crisis that threatens our nation."
