Super Stupid

Normal stupidity, super stupidity, and plain, unadorned, everyday stupidity are all legitimate, but different kinds of stupidity. It may sound strange, but it turns out that stupidity really does come in different flavors that aren't equally stupid - some of them are far more serious and dangerous than others. In Part I, we will explain how normal stupidity is built into our equipment, it is inherent in us. It is also not a bad thing, but more than that, it's actually a quite a good thing. In Part II, we will explain how super stupidity is a different order of stupidity than the others. It is the result of choices deliberately made and actions carefully taken to satisfy emotional needs without concern for the wider consequences. Super stupidity breeds on character flaws and thrives on intellectual weakness; it is a noxious concoction of arrogance and disrespect that anyone can brew on their own, but our institutions of higher learning have made an art of breeding it into their liberal arts graduates.
